further sorted by gender and age group; to baby gear, furniture, toys and more.
The listings are not yet hugely extensive, although it's quite easy to browse as

an area we will continue to watch) is their Childcare section, with listings
for nannies, babysitters and daycare.

www.BigCityMoms.com, a little forced reflection
proved to be a good way to take stock of how Executive Moms came about, and a few
of the more important lessons learned along the way.
