Top 10 List for Hiring a Babysitter
1. The babysitter should be able to relate easily and bond well with your children while maintaining a clear distinction from them. Babysitters must be able to play with and enjoy your children while also maintaining discipline.
2. The babysitter must be able to relate with your family and administer discipline to your children in a manner that is appropriate and consistent with your family’s boundaries.
3. The babysitter should ideally have years of experience, solid references from prior employer-families, a clean background (pursuant to background checks), and completed training on babysitter basics (CPR, first aid, the Heimlich maneuver, basic nutrition and food preparation, and general personal and home hygiene). You can obtain background checks through Care4hire.com.
4. If you need your babysitter to drive, then your babysitter should have a valid driver’s license, a clean (or as close to clean as possible) driving record and a reliable car.
5. The babysitter should be able to develop and carry out fun, creative, and educational experiences for your child.
6. The babysitter should be willing and able to comply with your rules for him or her.
7. The babysitter should be capable of handling small “crises†on his/her own.
8. The babysitter and you should agree to terms of employment in advance of beginning work.
9. The babysitter should not have fears or concerns about the non-negotiable aspects of the job with your family, for example extra hours.
10. The babysitter should be a positive, loving influence in your household.

For this event I am not suggesting that children make their own purchases, especially online, without the approval and guidance of an adult. Please remember single mothers in your life for Mother’s Day. Help their children make or buy gifts so that their Mother’s Day is special too.
This Mother’s Day Gift Guide event will continue throughout April. Stay tuned for more suggestions, reviews and giveaways.
