I'm looking forward to seeing the responses to this question! I have two little ones and I have never left them with a sitter before. The information from other moms will be really helpful for when the "sitter time" comes for us!

I am just starting my in home care for kids in Bennett Valley, Santa Rosa....I provide food, potty training, all hours needed, have CPR/first aid cert. and 16 accredited educational units in early childhood.....my rates are $5 an hour for one child and $8 an hour for two kids....this might be a little low but being a single mom with two children of my own, I thought this amount to be pretty fair and cheaper then the rest....especially who wouldn't love a date night or go shopping alone and not cost them too much! I wish there was someone like this for my children when they were littler!
