Babysitters looking for jobs

I am a member of a Yahoo club for Russian-speaking parents (mostly NY Metro area). I am seeing more and more ads on our forum whose gist is "Good Babysitter available ASAP: Due to my family situation, I had to let go of a good babysitter...etc." Looks like people are loosing jobs and are letting babysitters go. Before Spring-Summer 2008 we had virtually no such posts. Most of the babysitter-related posts back then discussed "arrogant babysitters who are requesting too much in pay/vacation/perks". Situation clearly changed since then.
