Thanks Lenie and Lurking. I too have been using Care.com, and unfortunately had NO idea they had a discount! It is a good service. The background checks are kinda pricey, maybe that discount will help with that. We've been hiring the college kids as [I]most[I] of them are reliable/responsible.

I hear what you are saying about the professional interview. We tried to do the same thing, as well as a "Nanny contract." We've had our share of babysitter issues. We had half a dozen of them to deal with my reserve schedule, some were great, some turned out to be pretty flaky.

My hats off to HR, holy cow I couldn't do their job!

Thanks, Kargo
