If you’re anticipating the arrival of your first baby, you’ve probably decorated the nursery, stocked up on diapers, packed your bags for the hospital, and if you’re really prepared, made a call list for friends and family. But have you thought of getting a baby-sitter for your new little bundle of joy? After you’ve settled into Mommyhood, and you’re ready for date night or a girl’s night out (or you just want to sneak over to the neighbors for a nap) wouldn’t it be nice to have a “go-to” list of trusted sitters you can call at a moments notice?
MommyMixer, the popular Austin based, match making service for parents and sitters, is hosting an exclusive
New Mommy event for expecting moms on
Thursday, November 29th from 6:30 to 8:00pm at the chic boutique,
Baby Coco. If you are due before
March 2008 and interested in meeting potential baby-sitter candidates, this is a MommyMixer you won’t want to miss!
Mommies-to-be will be able to chat with baby sitters who are comfortable with caring for newborns, as well as visit with night nurses who specialize in overnight care with infants. For the $100 registration fee, guests visit with candidates face-to-face in an intimate setting, plus get to take home the coveted
Babysitter Book, which includes each candidate's résumé, contact information, and photo. Believe us when we say MommyMixer takes the
labor out of finding a sitter!
To register for this event or to inquire about other local MommyMixers, go to
