stories and charts

i'm a twentysomething earning my stripes (and degree) in graphic design.
from texas, to new york city, back to texas. this is my personal blog.

hey girls… do you like kids?

if you do, and you’re looking for a little (easy) extra cash…

i HIGHLY recommend checking out mommymixer.

basically, it’s free for sitters and the moms pay a (pretty high) registration fee.
you sign up for a “mixer”, meet the moms who need sitters, introduce yourself and they introduce themselves. then it’s like speed-dating, of sorts. the moms come up to you and you swap numbers and info if your schedules will work together. 

all you have to do is submit an online resume, and attend a mixer.
the rest of the work is on the moms’ parts. they’ll contact you if they think you’ll mesh with their family/schedule and…
voila! you’re getting paid a minimum of $11 or $12/hour to babysit.

it’s an austin-based company, but they do mixers all over the place… their city list is 50+ (even canada!).

it can be anything from a full-time nanny position (if that’s what you’re looking for) or occasional date nights. and you’re not in a contract.. if you can’t/don’t want to babysit, you don’t have to. you’ll just stay in the database.

for instance, i went to a mixer over a year ago and a woman just e-mailed me who needs a sitter for occasional date nights a couple saturdays a month. she’s got a 7 year old and a 9 year old.

piece of cake. done. win!
