We're changing up the referral rewards starting this month, nixing the extra step of using PayPal and increasing the rewards from $10 to $15 Target Gift Cards. Who doesn't love Target?

For each parent/care seeker you refer to Sittercity, you'll get a $15 Target Gift Card, delivered via email. Use your gift card to buy the great stuff on Target.com. And since there's no limit to how many friends you can refer to Sittercity, you can really rack up the rewards.

Log in to your My Sittercity dashboard to refer your friends and earn rewards.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 have nothing on you. We're looking for sitters who have sat for multiples -- whether it's too-cute twins or slightly insane sextuplets -- and lived to tell about it. (Our CEO, Genevieve, is a twin in a family that includes TWO sets, so she can attest to what managing multiples entails!)

If you've got an outrageous story about babysitting for multiples, we want to hear it. Tell us about the chaos and the challenges, and how you managed the brood while retaining (most of) your sanity.

Send all stories to bsirt@sittercity.com with "Sitter Response: Multiples" in the subject.
