How to Choose a Sitter
Question: "I'm looking for a babysitter in my hometown
for night time so I can go out sometimes. But I don't know where
to start the search, can you please give me some suggestions on
where to start, and how to trust someone and what questions to ask.
"
Response: Try a few of these web sites:
www.childcare-ppin.com/directory/index.htm
www.americannannyjobsearch.com
www.findcarenow.com (For
a state by state search)
www.childcare-experts.org
www.nccanet.org (National Child
Care Association)
www.rrnetwork.com
www.daycareland.com
www.child-care-now.com/
What ever you do, be certain to ask for references. You might also
ask other parents what criteria they set when looking for a babysitter.
You must set your own standards according to what is important to
you. Do you have a preference that your childcare provider be licensed,
be a certain age, or have a certain level of experience. You may
also want to pay close attention to your child's reaction to the
prospective childcare provider.
