[quote=Anonymous]Occasional sitter here - I have a full-time job (unrelated to childcare) but take on night/weekend jobs. I highly recommend Sittercity. You'll definitely have to weed through the profiles, but the advantage of joining as a parent is that you can post an ad with your exact specifications and let the sitters come to you. I've found some really great families this way and I'm in NoVa. Craigslist, unfortunately, has become entirely too spammy. I recommend having the sitter come over beforehand to meet your daughter and family - I think this is pretty standard practice. Have your daughter take the sitter on a tour of the house (her room, play areas, etc) and I think she'll become comfortable quickly if your sitter has the right personality. I've found that kids LOVE to show off their house and "stuff." Good luck![/quote]
