Teacher Process
It is important for adults, whether supporting or seeking a babysitter, to be informed and involved in this process.
Parents of babysitters should:
- Be aware of your child's babysitting jobs, including the location, date, and times.
- Be available in the event that your child needs assistance with the job.
- Ask questions about your child's babysitting job when they return home.
- How were the children?
- How did talking with the parents go?
- Were you concerned or worried about anything?
- What were you most proud of?
Parents seeking babysitters should:
- Leave ample information, such as...
- When you plan to return.
- Contact information.
- Information about the house (location of important items, pets, etc.)
- Important information about your child (feeding times, nap times, medical information, etc.)
- Discuss any specific expectations with the babysitter (helping with homework, feeding a pet, etc.).
- Talk with your own child about behavior expectations.
