The Interview Process: Building Trust

Once you’ve found a potential babysitter, it’s time to interview them. This step is critical for establishing trust and understanding their caregiving style. Here are some questions to consider:

• Experience: "What age groups have you worked with before?"

• Problem-Solving Skills: "How would you handle a child refusing to go to bed?"

• Certifications: "Do you have CPR and First Aid training?"

A good babysitter will not only answer your questions confidently but also ask about your family’s routines, expectations, and emergency plans.
