[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the advice above - try sittercity or care.com as well as any nearby universities (a lot of college and grad students do childcare for an income). Also try to introduce the sitter to your daughter while you're there and not going anywhere. If she has a normal level of anxiety, once should be enough. If she is extremely reactive (ie will scream until you come home no matter what the sitter does) you'll want to look up some step by step instructions for helping her acclimate. I'd type them here but I'm on my phone but it basically means a very gradual process - leave for five minutes, then ten, gradually increasing your distance and time away.[/quote]
