Safe hands babysitters

Hi,

I am bridesmaid at my sister in laws wedding and my 9month old son is page boy. Unfortunately everyone I know is going to this wedding and so I have no babysitter. The hotel recommended using "safe hands" babysitters. I'm hoping people have used them and can maybe give me some feedback on their experiences please?

Why do you need a babysitter if your son's going to be there? Or is the wedding going to go on really late? Is the wedding far from your home?

Sorry for all the questions but I've been to family weddings when small children went home with grandparents or stayed in the grandparents' hotel room so that their parents could stay at the wedding later than the grandparents wanted to. If your little boy is going to be in a strange place, he might appreciate someone he knows taking care of him.

I know that doesn't really answer your question but just thought it was something to think about!

Hello

A long time ago about 7yrs I used to babysit for them I get alot more private work now and alot from parents attending weddings or events at hotel who find my website or find me on another website and book me direct works out more or less the same as no fees to pay an agency/babysitting service as well.

I dont work for them anymore as pay is less than I am happy to give up a friday or saturday night for and often the jobs are quite far away.

If there were a week night and close by would consider and actually did recently a family not to far away and reasonable pay as although they have a recommended rate some families will offer a higher rate for whatever reason (child with medical condition, young baby, want someone with lots of experience).

I prefer them from a professional point of view to sitters but lots of parents love sitters.

Where is the wedding?
