Have you heard about this yet? The DoD has partnered with SitterCity.com to offer free memberships for military families (active, Guard AND Reserve), which as I understand, is normally a $120 deal.

I just registered and it was quick and easy. You will need your husband’s DoD info because eligibility will be checked but it offers you some incredible access to caregivers – not just for babysitting, but pet sitting, tutoring and even care for your elderly relatives. If you struggle with finding childcare (because, really, how many of your friends have been willing to give up the name of their most trusted sitters?), this may be a great resource for you!

Now, please note, the deal covers the membership only – you still will pay for the actual service and those rates are worked out between you and the prospective care giver. But talk about a time saver! Your free membership includes a four-step screening process, free access to background checks, comprehensive babysitter profiles and babysitter video interviews.

Check out this article for more information, and to register, go to sittercity.com/dod.

A great little present for yourself, just in time for Month of the Military Child.
