The Nanny Diaries Missing Chapter: 'Making the Right Sitter/Family Connections With MommyMixer - No Tyrants Need Apply'

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Nanny Diaries," releasing in theatres across country on August 24th, tells the stories of more than just those of the fictional movie characters. Annie, played by Scarlett Johansson, and her employers, the "X" family, are a composite of families and sitters that are all running up against the same problem -- finding good childcare and, more importantly, finding the right fit. Finding a nanny or babysitter can be a total nightmare and an even bigger one when you are hired by someone like the "X" family!

There are many ways to find childcare today, such as nanny services or online babysitter databases, but they each have their failings. The nanny services are incredibly costly and the babysitter databases are impersonal and time consuming -- so, what is the modern mom to do?

MommyMixer! The latest and greatest trend in finding help or getting hired in the sometimes-fierce world of childcare is popping up across the country. Our clients are moms who have their thumb on the trend radar and are always in the know about what's fabulous in their city. MommyMixer holds mixers at the most stylish venues in town, where these moms are given "The Babysitter Book," filled with sitter resumes, and are able to meet and mingle with up to 25 exceptional college students in one evening at a location that offers the additional opportunity to shop for the hottest fashions, investigate the latest trends, sip the best coffee in town, or even browse through the latest gallery.

Mixers are the ideal way to find a great match for moms and sitters alike. They can compare schedules, experiences, requirements, and most importantly, personalities! Being part of the right family can be a true blessing for both the college student and the family -- as seen with MommyMixer time and time again.

"Having been a sitter throughout college, I know that finding enough interviews to determine the right fit for a sitter can be daunting and of more concern is having to visit so many homes for various interviews. Today I'm a mom of two with a third on the way and I can see the value mixers bring to both the mom desperately in search of quality sitters and the college student looking for sitter jobs," say Mary Sullivan Cooper, CEO and Chief Founding Mama of MommyMixer. "Our mixers take the stress out of the equation for both the sitters and the moms by allowing them to meet in person in a casual social environment to determine if they want to take the next step and get together for a more formal babysitter arrangement. Our success rate has been outstanding and our moms and sitters are walking away feeling they have made the right connections. To attempt to meet this many sitters or families through classified ads would take up to 20 + hours. I tell moms and sitters don't settle for less find the right connections at our mixers."
