Searching for a Sitter on BabySitters.com
BabySitters.com maintains a nation-wide list of babysitters, making the process of finding a list of sitters to interview either in your area or at a travel destination quick and easy.

You will first want to search the BabySitters.com database to ensure that there are babysitters in your area that match the criteria you require. In the search results, select a babysitter profile and BabySitters.com will display all of the information the babysitter has provided about their level of childcare experience, typical times that they are available, age, gender, and comments that the babysitter has included.

If you find one or more sitters that you would like to interview, click on the link within the babysitter's profile to subscribe to BabySitters.com. You will be asked to enter in your credit card information and, once the subscription fee is paid, you will be automatically returned to the last profile you viewed along with the sitter's contact information.
Note: Be sure to log into your BabySitters.com account if you have already paid a subscription fee and you do not see a babysitter's contact information.

Of course, getting a list of sitters in only the first step in selecting a babysitter. Read the BabySitters.com article Guide to Performing a Background Check for detailed information about selecting a sitter.
