Do you have a babysitter?

05.08.2012 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

I do, and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t live without her (or more accurately them…I’ve acquired quite few). If you’re in the market for a sitter, you can post an ad for a  Middlebury College sitter (your post will end up here). I like the job posting forum because it requires students to call you, which tells me that they are fairly motivated and really want to work.  I’ve had great luck with hiring Middlebury College students and seriously, a kid-free date night is totally worth the extra effort of finding a reliable sitter!

*Note: Middlebury College students are NOT screened, interviewed, or trained by the college for off campus jobs. You’ll need to do your own interviews/background checks when hiring students.

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
