meinabox asked:Parents of Perth, where can I find a good occasional care? I’ve been incredibly sick and know no one in Perth yet. My husband works and now only has a couple days carers leave because we keep getting sick. I have two boys, 3yo and 5mo. The 3yo goes to daycare/preschool three days a week but I have the 5mo full time. Yesterday I had to get my nanny to come over with no notice and paid her $152 because I just couldn’t get out of bed and hubby couldn’t afford to take another day off to take care of me and the kids. Our nanny isn’t available all the time and I was just very, very lucky to get her yesterday. Where can I find affordable occasional care where I only need one day of daycare for both boys without booking more than a day in advance? We had a lot in Melbourne but I haven’t found one here yet. Please help!
Buddhamama50 replied:Findababysitter.com.au has gotten us some good babysitters ! You can see who’s available in your area and how much they charge before you put the money down to get their contact deets. Where are you, BTW ? That might help us to narrow something down for you...

AllTheExsInTexas asked:Help! Nanny/babysitter/daycare recommendations needed! Hey guys I’m in a unique situation where I’m losing my childcare possibly Monday or Tuesday and I’m freaking out. I have a 13 month old and I just need some recommendations for either an in house daycare or a reputable nanny/babysitter to get me through until I can enroll him somewhere. Thanks in advance.
Ododo2 replied:Well in my opinion would be to find a nanny through a service like [care.com](https://care.com), [findababysitter.com](https://findababysitter.com), [weneedananny.com](https://weneedananny.com) etc. until you can sort out a more permanent childcare solution. They can help care for the your 13 month old until you can find another childcare that suits you and your family. You also have lots of different options that way as well, you have complete control of who you hire during that period. You also have the advantage of negotiating wages as well. Hope that helps xx

fuckwitsabound asked:Babysitters Hey everyone, Not sure where else to ask this- is there a reputable website where you can find babysitters? We have no family nearby and it would be handy to get to know someone we trust to look after LO if we need or want. I see people advertising on Gumtree often but I would feel a bit better knowing they have been checked by an agency or something. Thanks!!
Listewie replied:You should mention that your are not in America. I used findababysitter.com.au. The other recommendations are US based.

Canberra M. asked:Hi all We are desperately looking for Family Day Care or an experience and trustworthy nanny for our 11 month old in the gungahlin area for 3-4 hours on a sat and sun (from around 2 or 3pm) but am having trouble finding someone. Anyone have recommendations or availability? I've looked on care for kids website and gumtree but seems weekends aren't usually offered. Thank you in advanceGin J. replied:Findababysitter.com.au is a great way to find a nanny. Every nanny lists their availability, rate and experience in their profile. I was a nanny for about 5 years and was always hired through that website. I know of other families too who have found great nannies there. Good luck !

Canberra M. asked:I'm interested to know what is offered in Canberra in regards to a nanny/cleaner. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old and I'm a stay at home Mum. I'm looking for some support a couple of times a week with cleaning the house, washing, getting lunch ready, possibly dinner cooked, assistance with the children sometimes. How would I go about finding a qualified person who is reasonably priced?Cassandra Y. replied:No offence meant, but that sounds like a housekeeper more than a nanny. A nanny solely cares for children with minor domestic tasks (mostly tidying after the children and washing dishes). The main focus is the child's care and preparing meals for the children. You may be able to get a young, relatively inexperienced nanny to be a 'mothers help'. But you would still be looking at $25 per hour. I would have a look on 'We Need A Nanny', Gumtree and 'Findababysitter.com'. That is where you will find a lot of uni students and young nannies. Good luck!

Canberra M. asked:Choosing and contacting a babysitter? ----- Hi All, I have a 4 month old baby in Macgregor and was wondering how you all go about choosing and contacting a babysitter? Or any recommendations? We have no family here, and although I might not be ready right now, I think the time for a night off is coming soon! Thanks in advance.Alicia H. replied:I've found babysitters through the Au pairs in Canberra page plus through friends at my playgroup. I've had the sitter come to my house for a meet and greet or phone call and go off the feeling I've had for them. You could look on gumtree and findababysitter.com.au also. I've also used Anna's Babysitting Service and found Anna very reliable, I also called her referee's prior to hiring Anna.

Lauren A. replied:I have a nanny 3 days a week who I found on findababysitter.com.au She is a student studying to be a div 1 nurse and worked in childcare. I looked at her experience and what she wanted to do long term. Overall she has been absolutely amazing. I pay her 23 hr but she is a contractor so she has to organise her super and tax. It was very very hard for me to trust someone with my kids but I think you can tell by the way they interact and how much confidence they have.
