Hi, we're struggling to find a babysitter while away from home at a wedding next weekend. Has anyone used sitters.co.uk or any of the other agencies? Can you recommend them as we're worried about having a total stranger look after our kids.

safehands network are similar set up to sitters and have worked in past for both but actually earn more through private work and actually for one off babysitting for parents its cheapest to book a sitter direct with no agency fees.

where is the wedding one of us on here may be able to help - when you say next weekend I assume you mean the bank holiday and if so and its in the east midlands or even some parts of west midlands I would be available.

The wedding's in Aberdeen, and it's Saturday 25th. However, we're likely to need an agency this year as I'm going to be travelling a lot over the next 6 months for work.

I've used sitters lots over the last 7 years

Hi EldonAve
Can you recommend Sitters?
Have you had any problems with babysitters you've been unable to meet before they arrive?
