Give Mom and Break This Mother's Day
April 26, 2007FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sittercity® Helps Moms Get Their Lives Back with Easy-to-Find Sitters in Their Area
WHO: The lady of the house is a rush hour-commuting, dinner-cooking, bedtime-savvy, time-starved parent. She needs a break. She wants some grown-up time. Sittercity hears her cries, and we're here to help by connecting Mom to the hundreds of thousands of babysitters and nannies in our database who are standing by to lend a hand. For them, there's no kid too spastic, no diaper too grim. Between the bear hugs and boo boos, chances are it's been awhile since she's taken any time off. Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to show her how much you love her by giving her something she needs... really needs.
WHAT: Sittercity to the rescue! Sittercity.com is the Web's leading parent-babysitter online matchmaking site, dedicated to making the process of finding a caregiver fast, easy, safe and fun. With access to hundreds of thousands of sitters nationwide, parents can find a wealth of qualified caregivers in their area by using Sittercity's four-step screening process, which includes references, parent-to-parent feedback, personal interviews and background checks. Registration for sitters is free, and parents pay $7.99 per month for an annual membership, which gives them the unlimited ability to post jobs, and search, contact and hire sitters in their areas.
WHY: You may not have noticed, but Mom's nails are starting to look like tools (not jewels, like they should), and her last haircut is older than her youngest child. Help mom do a little self-pampering by giving her the gift of time. By getting her a subscription to Sittercity, mom will be able to run errands, hit the gym, go shopping and relax – while someone else watches the kids.
HOW: The best part of giving this gift is not having to sift through scarves and socks, or sniffing perfumes. Simply go online to www.sittercity.com and join. Trust us, this is a gift she won't shove in the back of her closet. She'll be forever grateful… and so will you, with a happier mom and wife!
