I'd be interested to know how they solve the babysitting problem. I know there is no way in the world I would ever allow a random person set up from a company into my house and then leave them alone with my children. That is a level of trust far beyond what I would have of any company. Now... if they opened a "daycare" agency with a physical local you can take your kids to, that might be a possibility.

There's a ton of babysitting services that do work the way you'd never be willing to accept, so clearly not nearly all parents are as concerned about it...

Just as an opposing data point, I have two small kids and would have no qualms about that at all.

Make it social! Tie it into Facebook or get list of friends who are couples. "Your friends Bob & Jim used this babysitter, would you like us to contact them?"

Does this exist? Seems like it should.

Sort of like how you can use linked in to figure out who people have worked with.

People with kids often have friends with kids and you can figure out all the babysitters that have one degree of separation from you.

Usually nobody will recomment a good babysitter, because they'd want to keep it for themselves.

Let the users recruit their babysitters into the service, then select from among them when arranging dates.
