Do any of you use things like sitter city for temporary / date night care for your kiddos? I've always used people we know outside of daycare and am feeling nervous about how to find care in a new city

I was a babysitter on Sitter City's on demand platform many years ago pre-business school. I was insanely qualified (CPR certified, years of experience with infants and toddlers, teacher) so I am biased to think there are great people on those platforms. Just do your diligence -- referrals, interviews, etc.

Does your neighborhood have a FB or NextDoor group you can use? I personal prefer to use daycare workers/teachers/coaches we already know, but then ask neighbors if they have kids who sit or recommendations to share. My kids are older now, but I still want to have a community connection to our sitter. Once or twice, a coworker has had an older child who babysat.

I like Sittercity. Use it for actual nannies. For babysitter I would probably post an ad on Sittercity and fully interview a bunch of candidates, over the course of 2-3 interviews, understand experience and background in detail. Then create a spreadsheet of folks I’d be willing to call.

I would not feel comfortable trusting the platform to just send a great person without vetting them myself

Does your city/neighborhood have a nanny network group on Facebook? We moved to our city a couple years ago and it was so helpful along with recommendations from co workers.

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old

What should I do to pave my career path? I don't even have experience in relevant field for switch.

Hi team, I joined Accenture recently ( 20) days however I received an offer from product based company with better pay and profile.
