    Are you yearning for some free time? In need of a night for yourself? If you do not have family close by, getting some help with the kids can be hard.

    Hiring a babysitter for the first time

    The thought of leaving your child with someone new can be a scary feeling. If this is your first time getting a babysitter, don’t stress. We have some tips to help the process go smoothly for you:
    • Contact babysitters on Locanto: By browsing this category you can find a range of options, from certified childcare workers and daycare centers to local babysitters or full-time nannies. When you find someone suitable, contact them through Locanto to get additional information and request a meeting.
    • Ask for references: Prior to interviewing a potential babysitter, ask them to provide information detailing their experience and references who you can contact to verify their reliability. You can also consider conducting a background check.
    • Schedule a meeting: Arrange an interview with the babysitter to meet in person. Here you can discuss the job, their experience, and their availability. Take this opportunity to really get to know the person and ask any questions you may have.
    • Discuss all expectations: Clearly communicate your expectations regarding their duties, schedules, and payment. If you have instructions or house rules, make these known ahead of time.
    • Prepare emergency contacts: No matter how good a babysitter is, you want to be prepared for any emergencies that may occur. Make sure the caretaker has a list of emergency contacts, including your contact information and your child’s doctor.
    • Provide important information: Provide the babysitter with any important medical information, such as if your child has any allergies or medical conditions they should be aware of. The sitter should have access to a first aid kit and any necessary medications. If the babysitter would also be assisting your child with their school work, any learning disabilities or challenges would also be worth mentioning.
    • Confirm arrangements: Whether you already have a set schedule for the babysitter or you only need their services once in a while, have clear confirmation at least a day or two in advance.

    If you are hiring a full-time nanny and haven’t had luck finding someone suitable, you can post an ad in this category, or in the Childcare jobs category detailing your needs and expectations so only qualified people reach out to you.
