So your hubby and you have been looking forward to date night all week. Thinking about what the two of you are going to do for the night out – dinner, dancing, movie, or wine tasting.

The most important part of planning your date is to find a baby sitter to take care of your precious little one. Now arranging for a baby sitter has never been easier with Sittercity‘s recently launched Sitteri, a free iPhone app.  This application that will make booking your babysitter one of the easiest things you do to in your date planning process.

With Sitterati iPhone app you can create new jobs when you are going to need a baby sitter, alert your preferred baby sitters, and even pay them directly when they are done.

One of my favorite features about Sitterati is that it helps keep all the baby sitters organized in one place. Within seconds, I can create a job and send to all my preferred baby sitters at one time. I can even book the baby sitter from the application. It saves time because it alleviates the need to call your baby sitters, leave messages, and wait to for a response back.

And if you are like me who never carries cash on hand, then you will surely appreciate the functionality to pay your baby sitter from the app. There will no need to rush to the ATM to withdrawal cash because the app has all your payment information stored in the application.

Now you have a chance to set up an account with this new parent-to-sitter application. The next step is you simply text your sitters to invite them to join and upload your payment information for the sitters. Try it out to see how convenient it is to have everything for your baby-sitting needs located in one place.
