I'm looking to find a babysitting gig in my local area. What websites or apps are good to use? Are there any that don't require a fee?

I used to use care.com to pick up nanny/banysitter/pet sitter gigs! I think there is a fee involved but I can’t remember what it is

Ahh yea, I checked it out but didn’t want to pay a fee since this will be a very temporary situation and I’m just looking for occasional work.

Look up Helpr, it’s a corporate babysitting company that has contracts with large corporations who give their employees a blocks of hours to use with Helpr babysitters for last minute needs.

Daycare closes, child or parent is sick, school closes, professional days, etc. They vet their sitters and do background checks and expect you to have an updated CPR certification so their process can be lengthy but it’s so worth it!

Rates vary depending on # of kids, how last minute, etc. I’ve been doing it for two months and it’s been amazing! $28/hr to $40. Average is $32/hr. And they have an app for the families so you get paid within 3-4 business days. It’s pretty fast. If you love kids it’s awesome. Best side hustle yet!

Not a ton of weekends but if you’re vetted by them and get some work you can then leverage that and post on the Nextdoor app or local FB group, flyers, etc sharing that you’re looking for additional work outside your corporate babysitting and you prefer nights and weekends.

Let me know if you need more info. Oh, and there’s NO FEE. :-)

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

I've 5 years of experience into Java Spring boot.

Another offer from Zee entertainment enterprise ltd Zeel of 30 LPA. Please help me choose either of these. I'm a little sceptical about Paytm as it is still burning cash. But optimistic as it uses the latest tech. #paytm #jpmc #jpmorgan #chase #choice
