Ok, here's the scenario - I have to go to a dinner & dance at the weekend which means I have to leave dd before her bedtime. I usually have a wonderful young girl who sits for me and although not often she has put dd to bed before and dd loves her. Last night I heard that she wouldn't be able to sit on Saturday and under the circumstances I doubt she will be able to sit again (at least not in the near future).
This leaves me with two situations, firstly, I am in desperate need of a babysitter for this Saturday who would be able to put dd to bed - all my friends are busy and all my family will be at the same do that I am attending/
Secondly how do I go about finding a new regular babysitter (for one night a week on average)?? I've tried asking around but nobody seems to know of anyone. My usual girl was a friends dd.
I am reluctant to advertise for someone but it looks like I won't have much choice, has anybody successfully found someone through a local advert? Are there any businesses that keep babysitters on their books?
Please help - particularly with ideas about a solution for Saturday night. TIA
