I spent a fair amount of time evaluating each of these options very carefully and listing what I thought are their pros and cons. They are arranged from my most to least favorite. I've included login info so that you can check out the differences between the sitter view and the regular view (where appropriate.)
After I checked all of them out I tried the Google version, which, though unfinished, is still my favorite potential solution.
1. Smart moms

member2@gmail.com, pw: member2
member3@gmail.com, pw: member3
Pros: Very nice guy who runs it, will help us. I will forward my emails with him to you.
Cons: Not super-intuitive, but will work with our system w/out too much signal to noise. Not auto-notices to users, though Gary might be able to fix that.
2. The babysitters exchange
http://www.babysitterexchange.com/
bootsy.boutwell@gmail.com, exchange1
mike@equatorial.tv, babysitters1
Pros: Very customizable, reasonably intuitive (but not great)
Cons: Too many options.
3. Swap exchange
Awaiting evaluation login info

check out the video demo link
Pros: Easiest, simplest interface
Cons: Software based, not web-based. Doesn't calculate number of points (I think, haven't found a way yet; customer service is not responsive.)
4. Helping Hero
Helpinghero.com
Pros: Potentially nice interface
Cons: Seems very crashy. Terrible calendar.
