Website Spotlight: Care.com and Sittercity

Today I'm profiling two sites that are both resources and potential money-makers.

Care.com - Find Your Ideal Sitter. Fast & Easy.

Sittercity - Need a babysitter? Find the most qualified sitters at Sittercity.com.


As a parent, you can sign up and find sitters and tutors, including background checks and previous references. As a money-maker, you can sign up to provide those two services. Both sites allow you to contact potential providers (or customers) without revealing your contact information. It's free to sign up as a sitter, and there are free options to sign up as a parent (although functionality is limited). Services include tutoring, house-sitters, senior care, pet care, and child care.
