Looking for a babysitter can feel like a daunting task. To make the process easier, you can start by outlining what you'd like from a candidate before starting your babysitter search. Think about the level of experience you wish them to have, if you want them to have any first-aid certifications, if you need them to handle additional duties such as driving kids around or helping with homework assignments, and how much you are willing to pay.
To start your search process on Care.com, start by creating an account and answering a few questions to find babysitters that match your needs. You will then have the option to either post a job that can be seen by our extensive pool of childcarers or search babysitters from the platform based on years of experience, hourly rate, distance from your area, etc. After you have selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, and hire the babysitter who best meets the needs of your family.
