User A is the associate housemaster in my dorm, who has a toddler. She said that she has had a lot of difficulties coordinating schedules with babysitters. Often she schedules a babysitting job a night in advance, and then the babysitter has to cancel at the last minute. She said that finding a babysitter at the last minute is often very difficult. She also sometimes is Also, she is sometimes flexible about exactly which night she needs a babysitter for, and that can make scheduling more complicated. She uses 3 babysitters, but prefers 2 of them much more over than the third. She said that she would be willing to adjust her schedule if it meant she would be using one of her preferred babysitters.

In order to find a babysitter she went through an agency that had done criminal background checks. They provided her with a list of people that met her desired requirements. She wanted people that could speak Spanish and were legally allowed to work in the US. After that she interviewed people, getting them to interact with her child and checking their homes in case her child would be spending time there. Based on that initial vetting, she made a list of babysitters that she calls when she needs one. Her list includes her three main babysitters, plus a couple more in case none of those three is are available.
