As a full-time mom with little accessible childcare, I find the idea of going out with friends daunting simply because of the logistical challenges. Sending various texts to former one-time babysitters hoping they’re free and - if not - reaching out to mom-friends for their trusted networks is both time-consuming and cumbersome. Using Ladher Sitters streamlined the whole process. Not only did I only need to send one message, but I knew I was getting a trusted, experienced, and engaged sitter. Our sitter was incredible - punctual, cheery, thoughtful, bright, patient and kind - and my almost six-year-old and her friend had the best time. Additionally, Ladher Sitters professionalizes the whole process so on both sides the expectations around hourly rate, dinner, transportation and even pets (!) were clear and fulfilled. I feel like my own social calendar just opened.
