fairy godmothers? other babysitters?

[taraprather]

I have been reading a lot on these boards and I keep hearing about these fairy godmothers. Do they have a website? How much do they cost? Do they have a minimum number of hours? I know the one through disney would cost $16.00 for both my children, for a minimum of 4 hours and a $10.00 traveling fee..... $74.00 for 4 hours!!! OUCH not to mention all the money we'll spend at pleasure island!

Does anyone know a good babysitter in Orlando that would be willing to travel to the hotel?
TIA

Fairy Godmothers has a similar cost. We use them all the time. They are a small company, and have no Web site.

You could try craigslist.com to look for cheaper childcare.

Cheap is not something I'd be looking for for childcare IMHO.

We used Kids Nite Out. www.kidsniteout.com

FG does not have a website. KNO is the preferred childcare co of Disney. They both do all the same background checks etc but KNO employess (last I heard) all have to go through Disney "Traditions" training (customer services etc)

I think they had about the same price but they seem to charge more (competing w/ KNO) w/o offering the same training.
