Blueleo Classifieds Simplifies the Search

Parent-Friendly For-Sale Listings

blueleo new york city classifieds!

Forget gathering, moms are all about the hunt. At any given moment you’re on the prowl for a date-night sitter, guitar teacher, or new cleaning lady.

Make the search a little easier with Blueleo’s new classifieds for New York City parents.

Unlike Craigslist, all of the users have to register with the website (which as a parent we found very comforting). Plus, the citywide selection lets you cast your net wider than just your neighborhood moms group — if you’re looking for a gently used double stroller, you don’t care if it spent time on the UWS or the LES.

Sections range from nannies to kids’ furniture to free trial classes; customize your profile to display only the categories that interest you most.

You can also use Blueleo to unload the stuff your kids have outgrown, when what you’re really hunting for is a little extra closet space.

Available online at blueleo.com; registration is free.
