  Sitter Central Dallas and Care.com.

  
  

  These places might require membership, but it might be worth a shot to see if they will let you pay a little extra and not be a member. 

  
  

  Otherwise, I would ask your venue.

  Thanks everyone.  The venue is at the city club.  I've asked and they sent me the preferred vendor list but no sitter information.
  
  I was looking for a sitter but also was wondering if anyone knew of an entertainer for the children, maybe someone who does face painting or magic tricks.  I would say almost a clown but not really.  I hate to just stick the kids with a sitter who just changes movies for them

  [QUOTE]I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some recommendations or ideas for good children sitters/entertainers??  <strong>I am going to have the children in a seperate room </strong>but since I do not have any of my own want to know where I can go to find a good reliable person to watch and possibly entertain the kiddos? Thanks a bunch

  Please also keep in mind that some parents may not feel comfortable 'leaving' their children with an unknown sitter while at the wedding--especially in another room. If they didn't want the kids around, they would have left them at home with their own sitter.
  I don't mean for this to offend or come off in the wrong way--this is coming from a complete control freak who would not feel 100% comfortable leaving my kid with someone that I am not aquainted with. I do think that it is a nice gesture, but I think that a 'kids table' with coloring books may suffice.

  Where is your reception?  I would ask them if they recommend anyone.

  I checked out care.com first, but ended up going with friends. It was a lot easier being able to tell the parents that I knew the girls working the kid's room, it made them more comfortable. I only had 1 parent refuse to take her child to the kid's room, but that's just how she is. I heard the kid's had a blast in there thanks to Tiffany & Giselle!!

  We've used Adventure Kids Playcare a few times before, they come to your location and set up a very structured "play area" and are able to attach a security measure to it as if you were going to their actual location (glow stamps, id's and matching numberst etc.) I dont believe their prices are too out there either!
