Hi everyone, I've posted on here a little while ago and wanted to thank everyone for their responses. there's a good chance there are a few that might have gotten lost in the mix and if i didn't have the opportunity to respond to you directly, i apologize. many of the responses i got back were from those of you looking for more occasional help, which i'm always more than willing to be considered for. however, i am currently looking to leave my full time job in anticipation of starting graduate school at Pitt for my MSW in the fall and am looking for something who needs help more in the range of 20-40 hours a week for the summer, and then maybe going down to part time or occasional in the fall. if any of you are looking for a summer babysitter for 20-40 hours a week, i'd love to talk to you more. below are my credentials i listed before. please feel free to contact me via email or phone at 412.874.8231. I'm 26, I have a BA in Psychology, I've babysat for many years, and for quite a few families in the neighborhood who would all give good references for me. I've had extensive work experience in child development and therapy for autistic children. I am first aid and CPR certified, I have my Act 33/34 clearances and a good driving record/my own transportation. I've had lots of experience with kids of all ages from newborns to teenagers. If you're looking for someone soon, please let me know and we can talk more. thanks!!

Hey all, I am looking for a sitter for my 5 year old...someone that might be available during the week sometimes and maybe some weekend nights. Nothing to extensive...more a sitter that can hang with her, take her to the playground, play fairies, etc for a few hours a week. We are open to having a teenager sit as well...we just want some solid recommendations. Thanks... -- Cara
