DIY babysitter hunting might seem free — but it costs you sanity, time, and trust.

• Posting online: You’re throwing personal info into the digital void. Who’s seeing it? Who’s screenshotting it?

• Sorting replies: Everyone says they’re “great with kids.” But where’s the proof?

• The decision spiral: You pick someone. Then you worry. Did you choose right? Will they flake?

• The what-if tax: You spend dinner half-checking your phone, half-wondering if the kids are still alive.
