What a good babysitter looks like
In Florence, people hire babysitters for date nights, after-school care, sick days and last-minute coverage. Before you let anyone in, look for:
- Families you know who have used them more than once
- A background check
- CPR and first-aid training
- Someone your kids actually like after a short meet-and-greet
Questions to ask before you hire
- How long have you been sitting, and for what ages?
- Are you CPR certified?
- Do you drive, and are you comfortable doing pickups?
- What's your rate, and is it different for more kids?
Red flags
- No references from local families
- Won't do a short meet-and-greet first
- Unclear about how they handle emergencies
Seasonal tip for Florence: Lock in a regular sitter before the holiday party season. December Saturdays go first.
