I think we have finally picked a new sitter for the kids. We interviewed a bunch, and pending the background check goes through OK, it should be a go beginning in August. It’s a lady that has 3 kids that are around my kids’ ages and she seems to genuinely love children. When we went over there to see her, our kids played great for 3 hours and didn’t want to leave, so we took that as a great sign.
We have given our current sitter notice and kept it short and sweet by saying that the ½ hour drive each way was just too much for us…we had tried it for 6 months and it was just too tiring. She understood, especially since she drove it when she came to my daughter’s party.
I’m excited that the new sitter will only be 10 minutes from our house, on our way to work. She also offered to baby-sit the kids on weekend nights so we can go out, and mentioned trading services for that (we would watch her kids some nights as well so they could go out). I really think this will be good.

Yay! I'm glad the search is over. The new sitter sounds wonderful and I hope the background check comes back clean. I know this whole situation has been stressful and am glad it's nearly over. And it sounds like you handled things with the old sitter very politely.
Glad you found someone. She sounds wonderful!! I think you handled the situation with the current sitter the best way.
I am so glad you found someone! I have been waiting for an update on that!
