Babysitting Services
Busy moms everywhere feel that the only way to get their homes and their lives under control is to clone themselves. Well, until that technology is available at a doctor’s office near you, the only other reasonable alternative is to get some assistance with running the household. Here’s how you can do it without breaking the bank.
Free Assistance: Having friends or family pitch in is the old-fashioned, yet incredibly effective, way to get the help you need. And while your neighbor across the street might not be willing to help you wash windows or tidy up the living room, she will most likely be able to offer a few free hours of babysitting or to pick the kids up from school every now and again. You can also insist that your husband pitch in a little more with the housework and other chores when he’s at home.
Hire Some Help: Sometimes there’s nothing else left to do but throw some money at the problem. (But luckily, you won’t have to throw that much.) Babysitters and nannies can give you some much-needed relief in the childcare department, so you might want to check out Sitter City. The site makes it easy for you to connect with qualified childcare assistants and allows you to choose from over two million caregivers nationwide. You can have access to detailed profiles, references, and background checks before the first interview, and until August 31 you can get 20% off any monthly subscription (code: SCHOOL).
