Of course parents prefer to get a trusted family relative or a friend to babysit their children but this option is not always available. Sometimes they will have to go out and no friends or relatives will be free to babysit their children. This is why they should always have other plans when it comes to babysitting. Of course parents are advised to seek someone they know and trust such as friends, relatives or co-workers but when they are not available, parents are advised to look for agencies that will provide them with Sydney babysitters.

In order to find the best babysitter, parents will have to go through tens of Sydney babysitters. Parents should judge the babysitters according to their C.V and their past experience. The parents should also interview all of the babysitter in order to be able to compare them. They should also ask them for the phone numbers of previous clients so parents can call them and ask them about the performance of the babysitter and ask if they recommend the babysitter to others or no.

After deciding on one of the Sydney babysitters, parents should then invite the babysitter to come and watch the kids while parents are in the house. This would allow the parents to monitor and watch the performance of the babysitter and check how she deals with the children and how do the children react to her. This experience would allow the parents to have a close look on the performance of the babysitter so they can make a better judgment and to make the parents sure that their children will be in safe hands when they are not in the house.

If the babysitter passes this exam, then parents should hire her services as they are now sure that the children are in good care. Before leaving the babysitter with the children alone, she should be informed with all of the house rules. This is why parents should lay out the rules to the babysitter before employment. This includes visitors, internet and phone use rules. Parents should also provide the babysitter with an information sheet that would be of good use in case of an emergency. This sheet should include things like their phone number, address, any close landmark and cell phone numbers. It should also include the ages and the blood types of the kids. This would allow the Sydney babysitters to resolve any situation and call for help if anything bad occurs.
