Answer 6

Personally, I look for a person that is CPR and first aid certified and comes with at least 3 references. I want someone that is at least 15, but prefer 16 or older with a drivers license and cell phone. I always have the babysitter meet my children first to see how she interacts with my children, and if my children take to her or not. I also want someone that truly enjoys watching children. I don't want a person that is just doing it for the money.

Good luck starting your service! I hope I helped.

Answer 7

Im a mommy to be and when I choose a sitter for my child I will want them to know infant CPR and CPR!  I want someone who is responsible, attentive, and actually cares what my child is up to or into...someone who cares to interact rather than watch tv or text or be on the phone and someone my child enjoys being with!  I also want someone who knows about child safety and SIDS if they are watching my baby!
