Hi:
I am a Grandmother of two precious boy's ages 5 & 3 and I know my daughter is always looking for a good Nanny.  So I thought I would start up a service here in 30-A area.  It will be called "Grannies Nannies"  Do you think something like this would do well in this area?  Thank you.

[quote="peapod1980, post: 172339"]Aha!, you have a two year old? :shock:[/quote]
 
Well, she's almost two...
Y'know, we could all use a little help, and there are precious few babysitters in the area.  If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to swap nights babysitting for another parent who needs a night out.  PM me if you're interested.

I saw an interview with the creator of babysitters.com on the Today Show. Sounds great. Unfortunately, there's only one sitter listed nearby (Destin). Maybe eventually some of the locals here will hear about the site and register. My sister and her husband are in Seagrove now, and they couldn't go out Wednesday night because they couldn't find a sitter.

I remember years ago, there was a lady at my church who was involved in a group of granny age women who sat regularly for folks and they were busy especally in the summers.  You could call one number and the organizer had a list of names she could call to find a sitter.

My daughter (13) babysits. She has taken a babysitting class and is certified. She has done a lot of babysitting for twins (2 sets,) has been a mother's helper and will work by herself or with another friend who is also certified.
We are not going anywhere this holiday, so if you need holiday care, pm me. She is booked on the 14th.

Hi, I am looking for some babysitting opportunities in the P.C.B/South Walton area. I have extensive experience with child care for younger children as my family is very large and I have numerous neices nephews and cousins. I am also on the babysitting list for the concierge at the development I work in. I am 21 years old and usually available 4 or 5 nights a week and typically weekends. I usually charge $10.00 per hour and an additional $5.00 per hour for each additional child. If you would ever like to make arrangements please feel free to contact me at [email]AmandaLBarrow@yahoo.com[/email]

Does anyone have recommendations for a good babysitter for a 2-year-old?  I'd love an occasional night out... 
Thanks!
