The Sitter Cafe today announced that all subscribers to its Internet sitter search service, SitterCafe.com, are ID verified through a high-tech process that helps keep both the Web site and registered babysitters safe from abuse.

For Immediate Release

SOLON, Ohio/EWORLDWIRE/June 5, 2006 --- A first in the growing online childcare search industry, The Sitter Cafe LLC today announced that all subscribers to its Internet sitter search service, SitterCafe.com, are ID Verified through a state-of-the-art process that helps keep both the Web site and registered babysitters safe from abuse. This makes SitterCafe.com the safest Web site available for local babysitters age 13 and older.

“It was a real challenge to find a way to verify a subscriber’s identity without requiring them to submit their social security number over the Internet,” said Michael Gerard, executive director and founder of The Sitter Cafe.

“We use publicly information to complete the ID verification process. Subscribers are asked questions that only they could possibly answer," said Gerard. "The multi-step, ID verify process is explained in detail, with illustrative examples, on The Sitter Cafe Web site at https://www.sittercafe.com/31p._faq.asp."

"The problem," said Gerard “Is that no one in the industry was doing anything to help protect minors such as the neighborhood teens that have traditionally worked as babysitters in their own neighborhood.” That’s the issue the Sitter Cafe has addressed. With families moving every five to seven years, it’s nearly impossible to meet and get to know the local babysitters. The Sitter Cafe is a safe place where parents find sitters and students find work.

The unique security features of the SitterCafe.com system go further than any other Web site to help keep users safe. The profiles of sitters under age 16 are returned only to subscribers within a limited distance to the sitter and The Sitter Cafe notifies parents of every sitter under the age of 16 that their child has registered as a babysitter on the Web site,” added Gerard.

Babysitting-Jobs Review, an Internet reviewer of sitter search site suggests, "Looking for site that offers everything needed in a sitter and parent directory as well as free sign-up for sitters and affordable price for parents should be on everyone's short list."
