How to find Babysitter for summer months in Yountville/Napa

Hi!  We are going to be living up in Yountville/Napa for the summer months as my husband is working there.  I work from home and would love to find a babysitter to help me with my 5 year old little girl with special needs.  She does not have any medical needs, she has global delays and Autism.  We would also use someone for date nights out or day trips to wineries for both kids (we also have an 11 yr old).  Any ideas on where to look, recommendations, etc would be much appreciated!  Thank you!

I have had great success finding wonderful and well qualified babysitters for my son (8 yo with ASD) by using sittercity.com. One thing on the website that I found worked best is to post my job opening in both the babysitter and special-needs sections. This time of year, there seems to be many college-age girls home for the summer who are looking for work. I hope this holds true in the Napa area as well as the bay.

We used Napa Valley Nanny when we stayed up there last summer.  They were actually the first babysitters we ever used for our son.  I could not have been more impressed.  The owner was extremely responsive and wanted to know every last detail about our son.  Both of the babysitters we had were incredible.
