Babysitter Checklist

In addition to SAFETY, here are some other qualities that should be considered:

EXPERIENCED  
Has she watched kids before?

MATURE
Can you have an adult conversation with this person, even if she is young? Has she demonstrated maturity, such as good grades in school and/or involvement and commitment to an extracurricular activity? 

TRUSTWORTHY/RELIABLE Check her references. Find out what other parents or employers have to say about her. 

GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS - When you interview your potential babysitter and/or meet her for the first time, notice such things as: Does she look you in the eye, speak clearly, answer all of your questions, and ask intelligent questions of you about your children and your home? 

FUN - Yes, you want your babysitter to be FUN, as well, but fun is not the most important quality. Being fun is a great runner-up to these other important qualities. 

Every parent needs a night out from time to time…..give yourself that break, but do your due diligence first in hiring the right babysitter to watch your kids!
