Update Your Availability!
 

Now that summer is just around the corner (even though it might not feel like it in certain parts of the country), it's almost time to update your availability calendar on your Sittercity profile.

If your availability calendar isn't up to date by May, you could miss out on some fantastic summer opportunities! If your schedule won't change until May or even June, now is the time to include a note about your updated availability in your profile bio so that sitter-searching parents can plan ahead.

Remember It All with Remember the Milk

We could all use our own personal assistants sometimes, right? Imagine how much smoother your life would run if you had someone to remind you to pick up the milk from the store on your way home, be at next week's babysitting interview on time or update your availability calendar just before summer starts. (Too much? Sorry.)

That's why we like Remember the Milk, a site (and iPhone app) that "reinvents the to-do list" by sending you task reminders via email, text or instant message. It's a simple, tech-savvy way to get organized no matter where you are. Remember the Milk lets you create and manage task lists, set your own due dates, choose how you'd like to receive reminders, prioritize/plan your time, and more. Finally, you can ditch the sticky notes and random scrap of paper in favor of this free, seamless service!

Set up your own reminders and get organized instantly with Remember the Milk.

Find Deep Daily Discounts on Woot

Looking for more ways to save money right now? Check out Woot.com. Woot is an online store and community that sells one item each day at amazingly discounted prices -- and we do mean amazing. Looking for a new TV, for example? Woot recently featured a 32-inch Sony Bravia for under $480, rather than the $700-800 it usually goes for.

There's a new item on Woot every day beginning at 12am CST, and it stays on the site until 11:59pm CST that day or until it sells out -- whichever comes first. To be one of the first ones notified about a new product's availability, you can subscribe to Woot's RSS feed or follow Woot on Twitter. There's also an active community on Woot.com where you can chat with other folks about the particular product of the day, share details about it, discuss the brand it comes from and more.
