Whether hiring a newborn care provider, caregiver for your twins or babysitter for older children, it’s important to have a plan in place for when the sitter is in your home. We hope these tips help!
You’ve Hired the Sitter- Now What?
- Once you hire the sitter, make sure that you have all of your emergency info in an easily accessible place. Print out our Emergency Info Sheet here if you need one!
- If you have a landline, show the sitter where it is.
- If you don’t use a landline, make sure you have a both iPhone and Android chargers in the house. The babysitter’s phone should be charged at all times.
- It’s perfectly fine to use a nanny cam while you’re out and it’s your legal right to have a camera, but you may want to let the sitter know if you do. We’ve been in homes before where Nurse’s have had to change clothes because baby had an accident or spit-up. Please be considerate to your babysitter and let her know if she’s being recorded.
- Have fun and try not to worry!
