rozellem Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just in case this lead does not work out, I thought I would explain how we did it. When we went round to all the neighbours to introduce ourselves, I noted that the lady who have lived across the road for 15+ years is also a local teacher. I thought she would be best to ask, as she knows many of the local kids and their families. She put me in contact with a lovely 16 year old babysitter around the corner from us (added bonus, her mum is a nurse). So I deal with her via txt message and walk her back round to her house afterwards. Also, another neighbour with small kids (and no local family) said she would be interested in a reciprocal deal where we would sit at each others homes while the kids were asleep and the other one goes out. It serves me to have a few options at hand. ps. We only leave the house after the kids are asleep, so the sitter never even gets to see the kids (best gig in town!)

Robbie_P Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks Rozelle.. my neighbors, very lovely family (mother is a nurse too), have a 16 year old daughter who i have targeted as a potential babysitter We have only been in the area for about 3 months and they were away on holiday for half the time, so we havent had time to build that relationship just yet (although they did offer to look after my daughter if my wife went into labour with my son) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
