WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Care.com

Care.com If you travel with kids, you can no longer use the excuse that you don’t have a babysitter for a night out on the town. That’s because Care.com has just started an extensive childcare directory, which gives city-by-city listings of reliable babysitters. They offer free background checks and video references. Care.com's daycare directory provides a listing of resources at the local level, searchable by zip code. Perfect in a pinch.
