5 Tips for Hiring the Right Babysitter
Finding a babysitter that you trust with the care and protection of your children can be difficult . And the added pressure of choosing someone who gets along well with your loved ones is especially daunting .
Thankfully , the following tips can help simplify the babysitter-selection process :
1 . Hire a sitter who is at least 16 years of age .
2 . Ensure that the sitter has taken CPR and other relevant courses .
3 . Invite the sitter to spend time with you and your children before you hire him or her for the job . This will allow your children to acclimate and give you some insight into how the sitter interacts with your family .
4 . Conduct a thorough interview and double-check references . Be sure to ask questions related to experience , availability and cooking ability .

5 . Trust your gut . Oftentimes , you will be able to get a good sense of what a person is like in the first 10 minutes of meeting him or her . If your instincts are telling you something , it ’ s best to follow them .
When interviewing candidates , it ’ s good to keep the information of one or two backup sitters in case your top choice falls through .
