Frustrated in trying to find a sitter

I have three boys that are all ADHD. I too have difficulty finding a babysitter. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Claudine....I wish that too. My family lives close but they are not willing to help either. We do have one person that is willing to watch them all together but she costs us $70 every time we use her. Not very helpful when it costs more for the babysitter than it does for "date night".

I feel your frustration. I have 5 kids and it gets very expensive to pay a babysitter for that many kids!! I have had success with swapping babysitting nights with other families. It has been beneficial to both of our families and saved everyone money! If you can, try to find another family that will trade off babysitting duties with, and if they are familiar with the challenges of ADHD all the better!!
