Professional Babysitter

I was watching a commercial yesterday for Merry Maids and thought to myself, "Why don't they have professional babysitting services?"

Yes, I know that is what daycare is. But daycare doesn't come to your house and many aren't open after 6 p.m.

Just imagine a professional babysitter's service. You and your husband decide at 6 p.m. that you want to go out for dinner alone. You call the service and they send one of hundreds of pre-screened, dependable, and quality babysitters to your home. No more worrying about whether or not the teenage girl down the street has a game or other activity that night. No more worrying about calling at the last minute.

For people in small town's like me without a wealth of teenage girls to call this would be great. And even in large cities if you are new to the area or don't know many people you would have a qualified babysitter at hand.

I can dream...
