My responsibilities included:  Spending time with the cats and ensuring they were fed on time  Giving any prescribed medicine to them  Grooming and washing the cats

Due to my responsible nature I have been asked to mind young children in my local neighborhood on numerous occasions. My responsibilities included:  Supervising children and keeping them safe and entertained  Keeping parents informed on how their kids are doing  Carrying out simple first aid while maintaining a high level of health and safety

As part of an annual event I volunteered at, I was given the responsibility to look after and supervise younger children in a safe, educational and engaging environment. My responsibilities included:  Completing risk assessments and liaising with supervisors and police to ensure the safety of the guests and speakers.  Carrying out routine fire drills and safety checks  Providing children with refreshments and snacks  Remaining vigilant when dealing with young children due to the high volume of attendees

Parents' Guide To Babysitting

Are you a babysitter? See our Babysitting Guide instead.

Jump to section:

Why hire a babysitter

In this section we look at what services babysitters typically provide, how they're different to other carers, and the many benefits your family can enjoy when hiring a babysitter.

When to hire a babysitter

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.

How to find a good babysitter

Often the biggest challenge with hiring a babysitter is finding good candidates, to begin with. In this section, we reveal many secrets that you can use to attract the best local babysitters, we also explore alternatives to hiring babysitters that you may not have considered.

What makes a good babysitter

Finding a good babysitter is not an easy task, in this section, we highlight various qualities to look out for while you're gathering candidates for your open position. We also cover less commonly considered candidates such as male babysitters and answer commonly asked questions that parents have about them.

Babysitter interview tips

How you conduct your interview process is critical to identifying the most appropriate babysitter for your family. In this section, we run through a recommended babysitting interview format and provide tips and tricks that you can use to learn the most about your candidates. We also offer a huge list of good interview questions and how best to utilize them depending on your unique circumstances.

Babysitter pay

One of the most common questions parents have about babysitting is how much they should pay their sitter. In this section, we look at the many factors that influence babysitter pay including your geographic location, age and experience of the sitter, age and number of children, and specific job requirements.

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.
