Important Rules for both Families and Sitters:

• You must register to access this section of the site.
• Columbia4Kids.com does not meet or screen parents or sitters. We only provide a place for you to communicate with each other and decide if you want to work together. Please use caution.
• Do not post your e-mail, address, or other info in your public profile. Do not use your real name and do not post a phone number. You may put this information in your profile as long as it is marked as private.
• Do post real information about yourself such as your age, skill level, and experience for sitters and number of children and ages for families. Do post an accurate zip code.
• Do use the private message and e-mail features provided by the Hire-a-Teen area to communicate with prospective employers/sitters. You can place your e-mail address in your profile (private) and allow others to send you e-mail that will be relayed by the Hire-a-Teen Board but not revealed to the sender.
• Do meet before bringing someone into your home or going to someone's home. Meet in a public place and bring another person with you. If possible, do not bring children to the meeting.
• Do use common sense and caution when communicating with someone via the Internet. Limit the amount of personal information you give out until you have met the person for real.
• Do ask for and check references. This goes for families and sitters. Have a list of 3 people willing to vouch for you either through e-mail or by phone.
• Do read our Legal Disclaimer before joining.
