Just wondering if anyone advertises on Sitter City or if it's really just geared for "regular" baby-sitters, not in-home daycares. I don't really want "normal" babysitting jobs...I'm just trying to come up with more places to advertise!

Hee hee! Look, I have a signature! -
OT but relevant.
I listed my daycare on here (daycare.com) recently because I was curious and figured I may as well since both of my "competition" are listed on here. I don't have any openings, but you never know what the future will bring in this business.
I had the first call within one hour of hitting submit
. By the end of the 5 day work week there had been 11 calls total. All wanting full-time care.
Three were placed on my wait list since they were looking for exactly what I offer (everything
). All were also referred to my "competition" and given a list of local resources and CCR&R's.
Not a bad gig for all of us in this sleepy/hidden community. We are off the beaten track of a major city and in the opposite direction of most locals commute. Exactly where I like to be.
Of course now I have to turn the ringer off / machine on during naptime and weekends....:

In your opinion: do you think advertising on here would work for someone like me? I am a private nanny who is just looking for side jobs on the weekends. Then July 2012 I will be looking for full time work as the family I work for is movingOT but relevant.

. Especially if you put "Nanny" in your listed business name somehow. I know my parents would LOVE to have someone like you available so they are not so reliant on their family for weekend/night things. I'd probably beg you to work out a deal with my clients, too.
Nobody around here offers that, it is a VERY needed service. I can't because I have 3 kids of my own still in the house and I'd like to keep my husband around. ::::::
When you list it here it lets you put in your hours of operation and a paragraph about yourself. The parents then look for you by typing in their zipcode and clicking on your business name for more information.
It was pretty painless. I was impressed.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.Comment

I also posted on here and got NOThing, but mad. They posetd my address which I asked for it to be removed several times, and after a month it was finally removed but then when you typed in my zip code, my daycare did not come up. it was showing up in a different city....so no more paying sites for me. stinksComment

I had 3 more calls today from here... one for a set of newborn girls.
I wish!! That would be so much fun!!!! I am ************ heavy these days....::::
Test-to-sterone is a bad word?? ::::::
Yeah, it does show your address, but my state already publishes that and GPS wont take you to my house. It swears I live in an old barn down by the stables a couple miles away...::::
