Dcum
Word of mouth
Nannies of their friends (just for babysitting!)
Workers at activities, lessons, school (bonus is that they’ve already had a background check run!)

Nextdoor App has been really helpful for us. Don't make a vague post. Add the qualifications you're looking for, age and number of children, and what type of care.

For babysitters, I always keep an eye out when my kids do any sort of activity. Past regular part-time babysitters include the kids' swim instructor, an aftercare teacher from preschool, and a public school teacher who earned a few extra bucks doing morning babysitting at our synagogue.

Neighbors, friends, mom listserves, mom groups on FB.

Word of mouth. Oh and if you need occasional help then you are not looking for nannies. You are looking for babysitters.

Neighborhood Facebook group? It works where I live.

Go ahead and judge if you do things differently, but this momma here is on a limited budget but needs occasional help for desperate situations. What are your tips and tricks for finding nannies & babysitters without paying an annual membership fee on nanny websites? (I make sure to pay anyone I hire a competitive rate as I myself have been a nanny until recently, but I’d rather not pay anything extra in addition to that.

Thank you!
