Hi ladies.
I am just curious if you can recommend a good babysitter and nanny? I am really nervous as I interview girls from
care.comMy husband and I would rather use someone that is recommended by others. Sadly I go back to work in 2 weeks. We had childcare set up with us dropping Levi off at her home on my way to work. Now that Levi is here, I would rather have someone come to our home and watch him during the day with lots of experience with babies. I interviewed someone the other day who said she had experience with 3 month old babies and had no idea what a swaddle was or how to hold the bottle. Soooo we are a bit worried these girls are making up the experience they have just to get a job. Some of the sights talk about paying taxes for them as household employees, paid sick weeks etc.
I want to pay 10-15 an hour for the days we use her. It would be from 8-4 Monday - Friday and not on my vacation time (1 week Thanksgiving, 3 weeks December and 2 weeks in April )
If you know of a good nanny during the week (and also an occasional babysitter for when my husband and i go out on date nights) that you have first hand experience from, PLEASE let me know. My son will be 3 months old when I return to work. We live downtown so she should be able to drive here everyday.
Thank you so much!
Lisa, Bobby and baby Levi Lipton
