Babysitters
On an ordinary evening at an upscale boutique in Austin, Texas, the most coveted item is not jewelry or designer clothing but a baby-blue, three-ring binder. Open it and you can read about Haleigh, a CPR-certified graduate of Texas Tech with a degree in human development and family studies. Or flip the page to Jennifer, a former lifeguard studying early childhood education at the University of Texas.

“Patience. Love. No wire hangers. When it comes to good parenting, you've mastered the basics. But if you're not sure your BFF's neighbor's brother's boss's daughter can do the same while you're out this Saturday night, we'd like to suggest you attend a MommyMixer.”

Babysitting Made Easier for Students: MommyMixer looks to unite student babysitters and families with event
College students will have a chance to earn some extra money the old fashioned way: babysitting. While students go through a plethora of odd jobs to pay their way through college, Mommy Mixer is an organization allowing students to have an easily-accessible part time position as a baby sitter.
Any students who are interested in making money this way can attend a mixer tonight, where they will meet with parents. Instead of a typical interview session, the Mommy Mixers are hosted in a casual atmosphere, taking some pressure off potential employees. “Students can expect to have the pressure off and enjoy a social way to find a job and see who you really connect with.”

Find the Right Fit: MommyMixer Puts Baby Sitters and Parents Face-to-Face
Finding a good, reliable baby sitter is a first priority for Baton Rouge newcomer Michele Sundy. Since she and her military husband moved here from Fredericksburg, Va., last month, finding help with their two young children, 3-year-old Jane and 6-month-old Jack, has not been easy. “I just need help with the kids,” said Sundy, who wants a sitter to watch her children while she runs errands, grocery shops and takes an occasional date night with her husband. Her search got easier Sunday afternoon when Sundy met a dozen area college-age baby sitters who met with parents to offer their help during a MommyMixer social at Oh Baby! on Jefferson Highway.”

“Finding a job where you can determine your own hours, decide your own pay and even pick your boss sound like a dream job. But it doesn't have to be after attending MommyMixer, the newest and most efficient way of finding a job.”
- SMU Daily Campus

“Stepping onto the university campus and effectively finalizing the transition from adolescence to adulthood, students often give up awareness of their own youth in favor of a more aged mindset. Perhaps that's a Mistake. Senior sociology major Abigail Noebels would likely agree. In her eyes the world of a child is a fascinating and enlightening escape from the stress of college life. As a sitter with MommyMixer --- Noebel' says -- “It's nice to remove yourself from the college atmosphere and become part of a family and a child's life.”
- The Daily Texan's Longhorn Living, June 2007

“MommyMixer promises a unique way for parents to meet potential babysitters.”

“One referral service in Austin makes the match a cinch. MommyMixer is a babysitter broker that throws a party where you can meet and interview between 25 and 40 candidates in a couple of hours.”

Speed Dating for Sitters - “Scoring a fantastic, trustworthy babysitter can be like searching for the holy grail. It's hugely time consuming to call for references, conduct background checks and beg all your friends for personal recommendations, to say nothing of making sure you've hidden all the toys under the couch for the interview (ahem). Get this: Mary Sullivan Cooper, founder of MommyMixer, it's making this process wayyyyyy easier. Her idea of a “speed dating” method of matching college student babysitters and with moms is not only brilliant, it's turned into a widely acclaimed national service. You're in luck if you live in one of 18 cities that host the mixers--for a $100 fee you get to meet a huge pool of eligible candidates live and in person, along with a carefully compiled notebook that includes each of their resumes and schedules. Plus? An afternoon away from the kids. May it be the first of many.“
