© Mallory Brisson Photography Alexis Simon set up the Atlantic Babysitters Club after getting frustrated with the process of finding sitters for her own children. Not being from Atlantic Canada originally, she "didn't have that village that everyone talks about" to help her look after her children, Simon told CBC Radio's Information Morning Halifax. Inspired by the experience, Simon set up her own agency — the Atlantic Babysitters Club — at her Halifax home. She said she learned about the idea of the agency through a Facebook advertisement before Simon even started the business. "The perks of working for Alexis with her babysitting company is that I don't have to go out and find the parents," Sharpe said.
