How many babysitters / nannies should I initally contact?
Typically expect to contact 5 to 6 babysitters or nannies. From this you can expect to get a response from 1 to 2 carers. If you do not get a response then just wait a few days and search again. New babysitters and nannies are registering every day. You can also sign up for a Profile Alert, alerting you when a babysitter or nanny places a profile on the site that matches your requirements.
