A great site to find a babysitter. The sitter we found was qualified and did more than we asked her to do, and we were very happy. The whole operation of posting a job online and finding a sitter was very easy too.

Everything went extremely smoothly and the price was about 20% of what the hotel charged us a few days earlier, which was greatly appreciated!

I posted a job for a babysitter on CareFinder - within an hour I got responses from many babysitters keen for the job. It was so easy (and quick!) to find the help I needed. The babysitter we ended up using was trustworthy and reliable.
