Don't Know What to Do - Need a Sitter ASAP!!

Due to a schedule change in our household, I need someone who can watch my 5yr. old son three days a week. It would be from when he gets home from school to when my husband gets home from work (about 3:30pm to 6:00pm). I've never done anything like this before, but I need someone starting next week (Monday 10/27/08). Any recommendations you can provide or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

What can I do next?

I have a 14 year old daughter (Freshman). She has been certified to do babysitting, this was something she did with her girlscout troop a few years ago. She helps take care of a friend of our children who are 5 & 6. We live on the North end of Plainfield, where are you located.

Since you are looking for someone on such short notice I would use a reputable sight like Sittercity or babysitters.com. You do have to pay a fee to join but it will be worth the peace of mind knowing that you are using sitters who have references and background checks. Good Luck.

Hi Lynne!
Check out sittercity.com I found two really great sitters from that site! And they also have reviews of the sitters from other parents on the site too.
