    10,426 — wow! I really needed this last night when my husband and I were desperate to be downtown at an election night party but had neglected to call a babysitter in advance. Fabulous giveaway!!!

  6. Selfish Mom says

    There are 177 sitters within 5 miles of me who are non-smokers, have had background checks, and are trained in first-aid and CPR.

    Looks great, but I would like to be able to search closer than 5 miles. In NYC 5 miles might as well be 500.

    Only 52 in my area…. but that is better than none! LOl Thanks for the chance to win this. I never even knew this service was available. As a mom of 3 living in a state with no relatives or close friends, we definitely need this!

    I’m ALWAYS in need of a sitter. What a great giveaway! I’m like faerie mom — no relatives and three kids and a job requiring me to be out fairly regularly at night (ha ha, that sounds mysterious!).

    2,320 in my area, wow I thought we were rural! We need a sitter and being in a rural area, you don’t always get to know people as quickly or as easily as I did in the city. thanks for the opportunity to win.
