The con is the high turn over. The pro is the individuals are always mature, responsible and have experience. I have had great luck with Brown University’s job board. The con is the high turn over.

She is like family to us and when we come home from a Sat night date night, my kitchen is clean, my laundry is done, ironed and put away, etc, etc. Please note: 1)we do not ask her to do this. She claims that she just "has" to keep busy. 2)We constantly tell her how much we appreciate and adore her and we are equally as loyal and generous to her as she is to us.

If one can't come, the other often can. That being said, I think we use a sitter about once a month at most--the expense of a sitter often rules out the cost of dinner at the Laiterie, and if we can't go there, why leave home? Does Kidoinfo have a CheapDates section in the resource guide? I feel so lucky to have teen sisters who sit for us occasionally. If one can’t come, the other often can.
