ages bed children evening event job manageable mid sitter younger
I have used babysitters from ages 12 to their mid 30s. Usually, if I have a younger sitter, it is for an evening event when I can have one or two of my children already put to bed before the sitter comes. I find this makes the job much more manageable for young or first-time sitters.
babysitter color eager floor patience trained turning
Will they get down on the floor and play? Do they have the patience to paint, read and color with them? Before you know it, they are turning 12, babysitter trained and certified and eager to work!
available found good great mouth people referred secret word
Word of mouth is great ? if you can get it. I have found that good babysitters aren't referred a lot. People want to keep them a secret so they will be available when needed!
