Finding a reliable babysitter at the last minute can be quite a challenge. But with the right approach and some preparation, you can make sure that your little one is in safe hands. 

You can start looking for sitters by asking your friends and family for recommendations – or by searching online for local babysitting services. You can easily find a babysitter in apps such as Sitly, which connects parents to reliable sitters in their neighborhood. The app offers detailed profiles of sitters as well as reviews from plenty of other parents.

Important things to ask your babysitter

When interviewing potential candidates, ask loads of questions to surely determine if they are the right fit for your family.  Make sure to ask them about previous jobs, experience with children, their availability and any references they may have. Ask also questions about their qualifications and certifications.

It’s equally important to discuss the rules and expectations you have for your child while they are in the care of the babysitter. Make sure to find out if the babysitter is comfortable with your children’s ages and any special needs they may have.

Discuss your expectations for the job in detail so that there is no confusion when it comes time for them to start working. Taking the time to know your babysitter will ensure that you find someone who is reliable and trustworthy enough to care for your children while you are away.

How technology is changing childcare scouting

Technology is revolutionizing the way people find childcare. Parents can now easily search for local caregivers who are available to provide short-term or emergency care. Apps like Sitly allow parents to read reviews from other users so they can make an informed decision about which caregiver is best suited for their needs.

Technology has enabled parents to access a larger pool of potential caregivers than ever before – giving them more options when it comes to finding quality childcare at the last minute.
