Be Careful When You Choose a Babysitter

By: grumpyjack sa

The safety and well-being of your child cannot be calculated in monetary terms. Harm or damage done, is done. All kinds of scary stories come up in the news, and it seems as if the "nice girl next door" might not be a good choice anymore. Go to google news, and do a search on the term "babysitter". It will leave you scared to death.

As a parent, you know what your child needs, and you fulfill those needs as best as you can. A babysitter does not have that bond with your child, so if you are not careful in making your selection, your child may lack proper care and attention once you walk out the front door.

Once you leave, you do not know if the babysitter has friends over (your baby won't tell), and how much of her attention they demand. You do not know if smiles you got upon arrival, will go out the back door the first time your baby cries. You do not know if a boyfriend, incapable of patience and compassion, might try to "quiet the child". And whatever your hidden camera tells you, it only reports after it happened. Dare you risk finding out how your baby got hurt ? Things should never get that far in the first place.

Whatever you do, be thorough. Think of all the mistakes you made, and the things you had to learn the hard way. Think of the things you do, which your child cannot do without. Think of how you handle difficult situations, and emergencies. You are looking for a person who, if not in possession of these qualities, can be taught. It has to be someone with both patience and presence of mind.

Regardless of how the person was referred, insist on meeting beforehand. Allow yourself enough time to make a proper evaluation, and to bring your concerns and expectations home. If possible, try and build a relationship with a particular babysitter that you feel you can trust. It would be best to know where the person stays, so you can pop in for a surprise visit some time. It would give you an idea of the quality of friends, and an impression of the importance of cleanliness. You wouldn't want to entrust your baby to someone who could be a health threat, would you?

The ideal situation would be to have contactable references. Even if it is a young person just starting out, he/she was probably entrusted with looking after someone's child or baby in the family. It's not a track record, but it's a start.

When dealing with someone from an agency, you can simply insist on seeing the portfolio. They obviously check references themselves, because one bad incident can cost them a fortune in lost clients and bad publicity.
