As a mother I know how important it is for parents to know their children are left in capable hands so our Babysitters are qualified and experienced in a childcare profession. They include nannies, childminders, teachers, and nursery nurses. Many are parents themselves. Each Babysitter has their own transport, so you will not be asked to organise or pay for any travel expenses. I ensure all our babysitters have been CRB checked prior to joining the agency, and we hold confirmation of this on file.
I personally vet every Babysitter thoroughly. Each Babysitter has a face-to-face interview to establish their suitability, practical knowledge of first aid and experience with children of different ages. I also obtain two written references which I keep on file. This ensures that all our Babysitters are trustworthy and have the required professional experience.
