92% of Women Pick Quality Time with Spouse Over Traditional Gifts

CHICAGO, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're a husband who is still wondering what to get your wife this Valentine's Day, Sittercity.com has the answer.  A recent Sittercity poll found that women want to be whisked away on Valentine's Day, which falls on a Sunday this year.  The overwhelming majority of women who responded said they wanted a romantic weekend getaway (46 percent) or dinner at a nice restaurant (45 percent), leaving the traditional gift of chocolate and flowers in a distant third (8 percent).

What this tells us is that, in order to fulfill loved ones' wishes, babysitters are going to be in high demand this Valentine's Day.  But with more than 1.4 million caregiver profiles nationwide Sittercity.com, the nation's largest and most trusted online source for babysitters and nannies, can help these wishes become a reality.  Individuals using Sittercity have full access to hundreds, even thousands, of experienced local sitters in their area, each with detailed profiles that include photos, experience, background checks, references and reviews.
