I am looking for a nanny/sitter in my home one day a week. I had a problem with Ligia who was highly recommended on Mamasource. I scheduled an interview and when I called to give her directions the day of she cancelled. Then we met and came up with a schedule. When I called to confirm she ended up cancelling. Does anyone have a reliable person they can recommend?
hello...had to write because I have the same need and subsequent delimma. I cannot seem to find the right chemistry with the referrals so far and or have not found a comfort level with anyone I have tried. It is seriously impacting my work in that I have no family to help with my two children either. I would be interested in your referral if you do find such a person! D.

I am so glad to have read your e-mail, I was planning on calling the same woman for an interview. I am definitely not interested in hiring someone who is not reliable. Good luck to you
Hi A.!!! I wanted to respond with a warning of sorts; I, too, asked for a referral on Mammasource, and, too was stood up by Megan, who lived in Parker, who had set up a time to meet with me, before she watched my kids, and low and behold, she never showed. I called her 3 times after that and gave her my number to try to get her to reconsider, but she never even called me back to offer an excuse as to why she would stand me up, and not return my calls, after that.
I just want to help, and spread good advice when I get it, and not so good referrals, when I get those ...
Good luck ...

Ligia is wonderful and very reliable, she currently taking care of my 6 month old part time, but I know she is looking for a full time position.
I may be able to help you out. I have a 15 month old boy whom I would need to bring. E-mail me back and I'll give you my number to call. I was a nanny (before my son was born) for 13 years.
