NJ/NYC mamas

We'll be attending a wedding in the Paramus area in late June (I don't know the exact location yet - just know it's a country club near Paramus).   I'm looking for a babysitting agency that can provide care for a few hours at our hotel room.   A quick google search found Pinch Sitters and Urbansitter in that area.  Before I spend a lot of time looking into these options, I thought I would ask the local ladies for personal recommendations.  If you have any experience with local agencies, can you please share?

That's so close to me! I honestly have never heard of those companies though. Do you want to go through an agency for safety reasons?

I work in the town next to Paramus! I'm no help either, and I've never heard of either of those. Sorry!

There's a NYC local board, maybe they could help?

Care.com? I know citysiters.com, but don't know if they go to that area.

We used care.com to find our nannies, but then conducted interviews & background checks on our own. Since this is a one time event, I'm looking to use a service that has already screened their employees, performed background checks, etc. I'll check the NYC local board - that's a good tip. Thanks everyone.

You can also try asking your hotel if they can provide a babysitter. I would ask your friends who are getting married if their local family has a babysitter to recommend .
