An invite pops up to a fab-sounding dinner party with your fave friends. You:
a.) Immediately start plotting which dress you’ll wear.
b.) Make a mental note to stock up on hostess-gift vino.
c.) Brace yourself for your high school aged sitter’s inevitable turn-down-text.

If you answered a resounding C, we’ve got a solution for you. The babysitting gurus over at Austin-founded MommyMixer have developed a new online program that gives you 24/7 access to detailed profiles of darling, energetic, college-aged girls ready to swoop in and entertain your kids. Their hip parties, covered by Good Morning America, give sitters and moms a chance to mingle. Or, learn about each candidate online, see how other Austin families have rated their services and post your desired time slots and pay rate. You’ll also get weekly emails with available sitters for the weekend—plus one that comes out for Valentine’s Day that’s become famous.

It’s all so much easier then deciphering those I’m busy that ngt but mayB l8tr messages.
