[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does not exist. Well, reliably. the problem with local sitters is that they get a better gig or change their schedule and you’re the cut. That’s why I stick with au pairs, because I need reliable childcare. A friend of mine moved from APs to local sitters and cycled through at least 5 in 9 months. They don’t like it, they get a better gig, their schedule changes (college or high school), get sick all the time or they just flake. It’s a real shame because it would be so much cheaper for me to hire a local sitter. [/quote] This has not been my experience at all. We have had the same sitter for 2 years now since we left the AP program. I have not regretted it for a second and wish we had left much earlier. The juice was not worth the squeeze. My neighbor has a child who is autistic and has had the same sitter for 8 years now. His son is in high school and still needs supervision. Maybe your friend is a nightmare to work for.[/quote]
