Why do we recommend Sittercity?

Want to find a babysitter for a night out or even just a few hours away? Here's why Sittercity is the only babysitting service we recommend for breastfeeding moms!

Need to find a babysitter for a night out? Or going back to work and need a sitter for your kids?

We recommend Sittercity because we think that moms deserve a break once in a while! We also think out of the all sites that match parents with sitters, they are the most professional and have the best childcare choices.

A Little History

When I had my oldest child, I never wanted to call a babysitter. I felt like I should have been home with her (and wanted to be.) I rarely left her other than for a very short time and then only with my husband or my parents.

When I had my second child, I learned why I needed to get a babysitter once in a while.

Baby #2 had severe colic. She would scream from four in the afternoon until one in the morning. We are talking about non-stop screaming�despite any baby wearing, breastfeeding and food adjustments that I made.

Finally, in an effort to restore my sanity, give me a much-needed break, and allow me to work a few days a week...we hired a babysitter. Actually, we hired TWO. One sitter to handle the screaming baby and one was to tend to my other child. (I really didn�t think I should put the pressure of such a difficult child on just one person.)

What happened? I had time to relax. I could go out to dinner, have a conversation with my husband, and feel like a person again. I was refreshed and come back a better mom.

Where to Find Great Babysitters

After a while, those babysitters could no longer watch our kids and we lost those nights away. However, with the Sittercity, now we can even get help finding a sitter right from your computer. They have hundreds of local babysitters and help you locate great babysitters so you don't have to give up your nights away ever again.

I have never again doubted myself for hiring a babysitter. Moms in today�s society have the opportunity to �do it all,� but we really do not have to do it alone. There are other people out there who would be happy to give us a break and give your children a fresh and fun face for a few hours!

When the times come when being a mom can be trying, a good babysitter can do wonders�even make you a better mom.
