When you need to get childcare for an evening, be sure to use some or all of these questions to help you decided if the candidate is right for your family.
- What can you tell me about yourself?
- How much experience have you had babysitting?
- Have you ever watched children of the same age as mine?
- What kind of activities do you like to do with children while babysitting?
- Have you ever taken a babysitting course or a CPR course?
- What do you enjoy about babysitting?
- What days and times are you generally available?
- What is your charge per hour?
- Can I have the names and numbers of a couple of previous families for whom you’ve babysat?
- Do you have any questions for me about my children and our routines?
