At some point we all need to find someone to care for the people and things we love. The worry is have we made the right choice?
Is that babysitter really qualified? How do I know my parent is being cared for by a trained professional? Who do I trust with the keys to my home? What about rover… will he be walked and fed as if I were there?
In the past when I, my friends and co-workers needed to find one of these important but often to hastily chosen care givers we resorted to placing or responding to blind ads in a local newspaper. Often even if we had the time to interview these people, do you really want them to come into your home? What if they are just looking to ‘case’ your house and learn your schedule. I shudder to think how close many of us have come to disaster.
A service that started in 2001 called SitterCity in Boston has recently begun offer a trial membership and I felt was worth discussing.
The service, like many great things is such a simple and straightforward idea that you wonder why you didn’t think of it. The service works like this: People from all over the USA register as either a Care Giver or a Care Seeker. Care Givers are then put through a 4 step screening process. They complete a full Sitter Profile. You can review a video interview and even see a comprehensive background check. All of which are geared to provide you with the utmost in confidence in your choice of a care giver for your child, parent, pet or home. SitterCity has literally hundreds of thousands of caregivers listed that you can search based on zip codes.
Updated: SitterCity has ended the free trial offer. The discount promo code for full membership as described below is still valid
