Question
I am looking for a babysitter for the week of 7/30 in Gulf Shores.  My kids are 5,4 & 2 years of age.  I would truly appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks,

Michelle Setzer

Answer
Dear Michelle,

I think one option would be to hire someone from your hometown to go on vacation with you and serve as the nanny/babysitter for the trip--perhaps a teenager or college student from your church or community.

I've enclosed some links that might help:

Visitor information

The official site of the City of Gulf Shores

http://www.cityofgulfshores.org/pages_2006/Library/libraryinfo.htm
The site of the Gulf Shores Public Library

I think the Gulf Shores library is a good start. They might have a list of babysitters or might know of someone who might be interested.

Good luck and have fun on your vacation.

Sincerely,

Leslie
