After recently losing my former job and having a babysitter this summer, I'm finally starting to work again--but a self-employed route so my hours are a bit hodge-podged right now. I'm trying to get a babysitter. My problem is that I have 2 kids and I really can't afford to have a full-time babysitter by myself, but my older son is 21 months and a live-wire! He gets into everything that's not out of reach and he's at the age when he doesn't play well with other children (and vice versa)! He's a full-time job by himself and I also have an infant! There are days when myself or my husband feel like we can't handle both of them together (especially since infant isn't taking a bottle--but that's another story), and the only way we can afford a babysitter is by splitting half (ideally 2 kids), but how do I go about this with such an active child? I really want him to have an opportunity to play in someone else's house at least a couple days a week to get a change of scenery from our 1-bdrm apt--especially with winter around the corner, and perhaps find a friend to play with to help him with his social skills, but how do I convince other prospective parents about this arrangement?
Any suggestions?

look for mothers that have close to the same age at home they can babysit for you. net work to see if another mother is interested in sharing sitters, or a small play group 3 kids or less
