No thanks.
It's babysitting, not nanny rates.
I have no problem finding babysitters at $15/hr for my 2 kids.
An adult with references? Or a high school or college kid?
College kid and neighborhood APs. I have a couple of HS girls in pay $10/hr.

That's fine. My opinion is that, as a babysitter, I would not accept that rate.
There's no way that I am giving up my evenings to watch 2+ kids for a fee that I can't change to fit to the situation. The only way I would use this would be to schedule singletons who would already be asleep, who also STTN. Otherwise, no way. Hire a high schooler.

Sounds like another care/sittercity scam. These business scam artists care nothing about children or quality care.
I wouldn't go near them.

For someone starting out, sure. But for established professionals? No way.
This sounds great for high school and college students.

No way would I use it, as a nanny or babysitter. I don't let an agency set my rates, especially not at a flat $16/hour, regardless of the number of children.

I did get an email from Sittercity about this and the launch offer and I'm probably going to try it out for a wedding we have next month. The only thing I don't love is the fact that the sitters don't have reviews yet, since it's so new in Boston. But, it's been in Chicago for awhile and my sister has used it several times and loves it. There are a few sitters she tries to hire when she needs someone. The process for a sitter to get accepted seems pretty thorough.

Came across a new babysitting service in the DC area called Chime - www.hellochime.com
Service is by Sittercity who I have heard of, but this site lets you book a sitter basically on demand. Anyone taken a look yet? Seems reasonable at $16 an hour no membership fees.
I found a promo code for $50 off your first booking with code LAUNCHDC You get $100 giftcard for booking because they just expanded to DC. Thinking of trying it out. Anyone else done this yet?
