'The group is pretty active. We found a great babysitter there. We know other people who also found solutions there.'
CARE.COM
'We have been using Care.com to find babysitters ~ not miraculous but definitely found a few there.'
'Care.com where we have had the most success. I like being able to search by location and experience.'
'I've had some luck finding date-night babysitters on Care.com. We even used it once when we were going to a wedding out of town that wasn't kid friendly and connected with the most amazing person!'
'Care.com is where we’ve found most of our sitters.'
'I used Care.com and found a great babysitter. Care.com is okay - we got very lucky with her babysitter. She also works at Woodstock Day School so her availability is limited.'

"I've heard happy horizons (Lake Katrin) is a great day care, have not tried it yet!
"My son’s daycare, called Happy Horizons, is great. Daily updates through an app and an end of day report each day. The teachers are wonderful, there is a weekly theme with activities like art and singing. Lunch is provided too! It’s in Lake Katrine."

"Find 1-3 people, pay them well and let them know what you need and look until you find them! It’s a synchronistic relationship that’s sacred and important. Look and ask everywhere."
