Babysitting is the traditional name given to short-term in-home child care services, often provided by teens or college students on an as-needed basis, but in recent years has also come into its own as a job that requires relevant degrees, vehicles, CPR certification, and other nuances of professionalism. Such work overlaps with the professional designation of nanny or au pair,
Where can you procure the services of a babysitter? Contact places where teens/students congregate, such as high schools or churches, and ask if there's a list of babysitters. Keep an eye out on the classified sections of the Davis Enterprise or The Vine.
