Care.com
I received a nice e-mail from Jonathan about the entry a few days ago on Online Child Care Advertising. He suggested including Care.com in our list. This definately was an oversight since I already knew about care.com. Jonathan also pointed out some recent articles about the site in the NY Times, a segment on Channel 7 NBC Boston, as well as a recent mom blog article on Working Moms Against Guilt.
This site offers information about more than just child care. There are also some good articles and how-to guides. The website also points people to help with tutoring, pet care, and elderly care... however, I encourage all child care professionals to sign up. Unlike many other business models, a basic listing at care.com is free for providers and the customers doing the searching are charged for membership. I think that, in this case, more is better and as more providers sign on, there will be more customers looking.
This is a nicely constructed website and easy to navigate. Stop by Care.com, look it over and give it a try.
