First-time Parents

Are you a first-time parent and not sure what to look for in a babysitter? Well, there are two main things, and those are references, and the feeling you get from meeting the potential babysitter in person. If you don't know the babysitter or nanny, references are imperative. Make sure that other people used her services and were satisfied! Also make sure that the references are not from friends or family, who are obviously biased. Next, arrange the potential sitter to come over to your house, or to wherever she will be watching the children. Sometimes, a potential employee says all the right things, but for some reason a parent is still left with a little nagging feeling that something is off. Trust that feeling! When it comes to your children's safety, it's okay to be a bit over-protective. That means that even if you can't put your finger on why you didn't like the potential babysitter, go with your gut, and continue your search.

In Case of an Emergency

It's always best to have a few babysitters who you trust on call. That way, in case of an emergency, you don't have to worry about leaving your children with someone you don't know. That will just add stress to an already stressful situation.
