Parents- what do you look for in a babysitter?

Question

I am a babysitter- full time and I charge fifteen dollars a day but I think I am really good. The kids have to be under age 6!

Just tell me what kind of babysitter you look for!

Answer 1

I have never hired a babysitter for my kids (aged 4 and 10months) but if I did I would probably look for someone:

mature

confident with children

completion of a first aid course

reliable

trustworthy

and preferrably a current drivers licence

reasonably priced per hr.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well, my son is only 2 weeks old, but I guess its never too early to start thinking about babysitters. I would look for maturity, trustworthy, and that they've taken the babysitting class (available through boys and girls club). I would also look for somebody who is good in academics and is truthful. Mostly a good kid and student. They would also have to be nice. (I don't want some meanie to watch my son)  

Answer 3

well i would look for someone who was def 16 and up and had references (someone i could  call who was not a family member) generally im picky about my kids too many weirdos but as long as they are doing well in school and show maturity im fine

Answer 4

someone who wont have their boyfriend or girlfriend over without permission and who wont do it on my couch lol. Someone who will treat my kids well and tell me if they misbehaved. They have to  have maturity and real patience about them.  

Answer 5

pleasant

knows cpr

big b***s ;)

Answer 6

I used to have each of my baby sitting clients fill out a questionaire about their children.  I do not have any children but got many compliments on the questionaire because it covered medication, allergies, rules, etc.

Answer 7

That's kind of cheap. I hope you won't rape my kids.
