Whether they're drawing you a sweet picture as an impromptu present, or leaving a less desirable "present" on your brand new carpet, they're your precious children and pets, and we know how much you love them.

But for all the meals you've prepared for your pooch and all the laundry you've done to make sure the kids aren't running naked around the playground like a co-ed on spring break, you deserve some time for yourself.

At Sittercity, our mission is to connect parents with caregivers in their area to give each side what they want - some time off for adults-only activities and access to a multitude of child and pet care jobs.

Sittercity.com's CEO, Genevieve Thiers, launched the company in Boston in 2001 with the astute realization that parents were as desperate to find trustworthy local caregivers as they were to find a magic pill for endless energy. With an armful of 20,000 flyers, Genevieve hand-delivered the Sittercity message to over 12 major Boston-area colleges.

Not only did she find herself with an unprecedented amount of blisters, she also found 600 eager babysitters in the first three weeks!

Twenty-two dedicated employees make up the backbone of Sittercity.com. When we're not fervently accomplishing our daily goal of enhancing our easy-to-use services and customer satisfaction, we can be found playing the piano in our office lounge, relocating Jason's office furniture to the bathroom and humoring Brad when he talks about his World of Warcraft adventures.
