Babysitting in Perth
No I am not offering 
Stormz post has really got me looking forward (in a roundabout way) to all the things we can do in Perth. Now I know there is a lot you can do with kids in tow and you can take them in pubs / resaturants more easily than in the UK.
But what do you do with the kids when you want a night out on your own? I fancy the comedy night and some of the gigs especially.
We are bringing our 8 year old daughter and may try for another kid once we settle. I suppose eventually we will build up a social circle strong enough they will have sleepovers etc.
But how do you get on with finding reliable babysitters?

You look after theirs and they look after yours.
