Question:Best way to find a babysitter?

I work from home, but I want to find someone to look after my baby for a few hours here and there - when I have a meeting outside the house or if my husband and I want to go out for dinner. We're new to the area, though - any tips on finding a reliable babysitter?

Answer:

There's a few ways you can find someone reliable. Try asking local daycare centers for recommendations, or even local places of worship (churches, synagogues). Those are people who are plugged into the community, and it's much more reliable and easier than putting up an ad someplace. Just make sure you get references and call on those references!
