Our daughter is getting close to 2 years old now and we've never hired a babysitter. My husband and I have no family in Denver — our family is scattered throughout the nation. And our friends in town either don't have kids (and don't really care for them) or have kids of their own with busy schedules, same as us. I am a WAHM and I am reaching a point of desperation in needing to find a babysitter so my husband and I can have a little extended time to ourselves ... even just to go out and see a movie!
I am really lost with where to turn for truly trustworthy, dependable, caring, screened babysitters. Where do I go to start a search for such a person? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Oh honey - you need a sitter desparately! I have 3 under the age of 6 and have had an extensive sitter list since they were infants (has saved my marriage and let me live a less chaotic life.) Where do you live? that may help in narrowing down the choices. Take care,

E.,
One of my daughters, in 7th grade, loves to babysit. She did the red cross certification and she takes it very seriously (but she LOVES kids, and has a lot of fun with them). We are near Iliff and Peoria, so if that is anywhere near you and you want to chat further, just send a message.
Thanks,
S.
I'm not sure what part of Denver you live in, but there is an actual daycare center that is open until 10 on Friday and Saturday. My son LOVES it. He is almost 3 but has been going there since he barely turned 2. It is great to just run errands sans kids during the day or when you want to go out for a date and can't find a babysitter. It is even a bit cheaper than the standard 10 dollars an hour you will pay a babysitter.
If you are interested, their website is kidstowncenters.com
Good luck!
*correction: The center is open until 11:00 on Friday and Saturday.
