Trusted Childcare Is it Attainable?

When you have children, and you need to find the right childcare for them I’m sure that all you can think of are the horror stories you’ve heard about babysitters, and childcare providers abusing children or neglecting them. Heck, even parents have been in the news for horrific acts against children. There is so much fear when leaving your children with “strangers” even people you’ve met, and decided to trust your children with has got to be full of fear and anxiety. kids-baking-1-941065-edited

Babysitting agencies can help but you need to make sure that the agency understands how you feel, and provides a service that is invested in you and your children. An agency that is personally involved in the well-being of your children and does the best that they can to find, vet, and qualify every babysitter that they have as part of their team. As the owner of Babysitters In a Pinch I am still very active in babysitting for families if they need it thus knowing individual family needs. I can’t always go out into the field but I go out at least once a week to stay in touch with children and families. I am familiar with the changing needs of families, and with the childcare environment because I am still very much hands on. I keep tabs on my team of babysitters to know how they are handling all the different families we serve, and most importantly, I ask for feedback from families about our service and how we can improve it.

I want Babysitters In a Pinch to be the best babysitting agency in Denver, and the surrounding area, and I need feedback both good and bad. I can’t do better if I don’t know what problems may arise with individual babysitters and families. I am passionate about what I do, and I’m not just giving lip service. I don’t hire every applicant that thinks they would be a good babysitter nor do I serve every family. I want families to be at ease and know that they can trust every babysitter from Babysitters In a Pinch. I know, it’s impossible but it is my goal.

Don’t Be Fleeced (order your guide today)

Paying more doesn’t mean you’re getting better babysitting. Trust me on that fact. Yes, good babysitters are in demand, and paying a bit above the average pay for your location isn’t a bad idea to attract some above average babysitters (but even that isn’t guaranteed).

Acknowledging Thanksgiving and Gratitude

Acknowledging Thanksgiving and Gratitude

Do you even understand the ramifications of losing Thanksgiving? We have lost the single holiday that acknowledges thankfulness, blessings we have, family, love that we share with one another, breaking bread as a community of fellow human beings, AND we have extended the most consumeristic holiday that Christmas, unfortunately, has become.

A Day In The Life of a Babysitter

The eating process isn’t easy either. For some odd reason meal time is the time when all children have the need to go to the bathroom, dawdle, be loud and obnoxious, and do anything BUT eat! You begin to run thin around now, and you can’t wait until nap time to regain composure.

Does Anyone Remember Babysitters?

I’m just wondering if my readers have had babysitting memories. Some that may have been better then others, memories; like my own, that at the time were stressful but with age laughable, some that you loved and wished you had kept in touch with your babysitter. I would love if you would send me your stories. Are babysitters memorable? Being a babysitter I hope so, and I hope for the positive.

The Joy of Babysitting

I love to see them get excited with the mundane we call life, and hear them giggle with delight when they see a commuter train or bus…
I am lucky to have these children in my life. I’m tired at the end of every day but when I’m not with them my heart is a little less full. It is a tremendous trust to allow someone to babysit your children when you really don’t know them so thanks to all the parents that are entrust me with all their great children.

Housework and Chores…YUCK!!!!

I like my house relatively clean, and organized but there is dust on the tables, carpeting that needs vacuuming, a floor that requires mopping, etc. and I’ll get around to it today but not after I put it off, and my belly button is completely clear of lint. I’m one of those women when I’m stressed out I DON’T reach for a cleaning bucket; instead I reach for ice cream and the remote.
