"As a working mother who manages an in-home business, I found The Sitter Connection to be the perfect solution for my childcare needs. As my daughter has some special needs, I prefer to work from home as much as possible, and need a sitter who has a lot of love and interactive skills. And because I work so much on deadlines, I haven't had the time to interview babysitters or call a list of sitters to arrange sits.

The Sitter Connection realizes all of these needs. They thoroughly screen and interview the girls, and schedule the sits. All I have to do is pick up the phone and make one call. The college girls they send have exceeded all of my expectations. Jill, the Director of The Sitter Connection, is an educator, Mom, and business woman. She also has exceeded all of my expectations...she completely understands my situation and takes leadership. Thank you, to Jill and all of the girls of The Sitter Connection!"

"This is the best system I have ever heard of!! Being new in the Dayton area, we were not sure who we could trust and since most of the time that I would need a sitter was during the day, I could not rely on highschool kids. We love that we don't have to worry when we go out or have to run some errands. The kids are in great hands. Being a mother of two toddlers, it is great knowing that if I need a break I can call them a couple days ahead and they are always there for me with help. I was put on bed rest with my second child and we had The Sitter Connection send someone to take care of my son. I never had to worry about him and was able to relax and take care of my pregnancy.

I would recommend this service to everyone with kids!!"

"I have been pleased with all of the girls that the Sitter Connection has sent us. I was apprehensive leaving our first born son with a babysitter for the first time, and the fact that these girls are college students who are majoring in a child development field was a big mind-easer. We recently added another infant to our family, and having two babies under age one is a big challenge. I know the girls from the Sitter Connection can handle both my boys anytime I need it."

Thanks!!

"We moved to Dayton with no family or friends in the area, I did not feel comfortable leaving my 3 children (twins and a singleton) with the 14-year-old down the street. I am so glad that I called The Sitter Connection. I am able to leave my children with responsible, caring young adults without the worry. They have so much fun meeting their new friends, and I have fun having guilt-free dates with my husband."

"Oh, how I long for the carefree days pre-baby. The days of just picking up and GOING wherever it is you wanted to go. It isn't even the amount of stuff that Little Dude comes with - we've managed to get that under control - it is the Sitter Situation. I am going to tell you a secret, but you have to promise not to use it to your advantage or pass it on to any of your other Mommy friends. Because if you do, then my Sitter Situation will worsen. And you don't want that on your conscience, do you?

The secret is this: There is a FANTASTIC sitter service in Columbus called The Sitter Connection. I believe they started in Dayton, but now have franchises in Columbus and Toledo. Now, I get no money from promoting this service. Just the satisfaction of knowing that I may be helping other moms in my situation. Seriously, check them out. The Sitter Connection uses local college gals (in my experience, there are a lot of nursing and education majors) as contracted sitters. They do fingerprinting and background checks. I couldn't be that thorough if I were looking for a sitter myself! We've had excellent experiences with them and we've been using them since December. They all seem to be sweet gals. There is also always evidence that J has actually been played with when we get home not just stuck in front of a Baby Einstein video for the 3 hours we were out. If I have one gripe, it's that they don't have enough sitters to fill the demands of all of the hard-up Mommies like us out there. So, when they have no sitters for me on a Friday night, it's me, Jack, Daddy and the Backyardigans for another date night. I rely on them heavily. It is so difficult to find a good, caring, engaged sitter. All of the sitters we've used through the Connection have been just that. I recommend them. But, you know, not too highly, 'cause I'd like to leave the house once in a while too, you know."

"I have been using the Sitter Connection for about a year now and I have LOVED it! All of the girls that have come to our house to sit for my twins have been always great with them. As a widowed/single mom I was a bit worried at first but I have had not one single problem in the past year. My twins look forward to having a sitter come to the house for a few hours and I am finally able to enjoy a relaxing evening away because I know with certainty that everything is ok at home. I have reccomended this service to every parent I meet."

"I also wanted to tell you that I tried another sitter service for a while... just for variety and your girls are so much better. Above and beyond, no comparison! Continue to find the cream of the crop, your're doing a great job!"

"I recommend The Sitter Connection to everyone. With no family in the area and moving when I was 8 months pregnant with my second child, it has been a godsend. We don't use the service very often, but it's nice to know it's there when we do get a chance to go out as a couple."

"As a military family finding babysitters can be so difficult. A friend recommended The Sitter Connection when we moved to Wright-Patt. a year ago and what a great service it has been. My two little girls loved the sitters who were all friendly, prompt, courteous, professional... I could go on and on. If you are considering this service don't hesitate, it's wonderful! It made our already easy year at AFIT even more enjoyable."

"We live in Cincinnati, and have a special needs son. I have been so pleased with the young women the service has found for us. Sometimes, it can be intimidating to take on the responsibility of a special needs child, but I have found without exception that these women are up to the task. A number of them have been education or even special education majors, which gives me some comfort. And the staff members I have dealt with on the phone have been so helpful, even when time was tight in finding a sitter. Thank you Sitter Connection. We appreciate all your efforts!

"We have been extremely pleased with The Sitter Connection. They do an excellent job choosing the sitters; we have like everyone that has come to our house. The response time is very quick so I do not have to worry about whether I have a sitter or not. The rates are also very fair. This has been a great help for when I need to be out of the house or just work on some projects. I highly recommend The Sitter Connection."

My husband and I moved to Dayton from Arizona with our 10 month old son with no family/friends to speak of. Not knowing anyone and really needing some mommy/daddy time was very difficult until one day in the mail we received an advertisment for the Sitter Connection. I checked it out and ever since we have been using the service! We now live in Columbus and have had a reoccuring sitter (same girl every week throughout the quarter) for the past year. The girls are great and my husband and I get weekly nights out:) Highly Recommended!!!!!!!

This is an amazing service! We don't have family in town and it's been a struggle to find a regular sitter, so the sitter connection has been a lifeline for us. They are especially great for daytime appointments and when I need sitter help so I can work on freelance projects. They recently filled a last minute request for a Saturday night. I was impressed! Since the sitter connection is a business, the sitters treat it that way, too; they are always on time and they are great with my little boy. I love that you just log on to their Web site, place your sit request and it's filled quickly, with a qualified sitter and with no other interaction from me. It's great!
