Parents need to set ground rules, run through kids' routines, give written instructions and observe how the sitter works when preparing for a babysitter.

Good babysitters can be recommended by friends and relatives or found through community centers, schools, occasional care centers or babysitting agencies and websites.

Age and maturity, good interaction with kids, child minding experience, first aid skills and the sitter's personal habits must be considered when choosing a babysitter.

Giving notice about parents going out, ensuring kids know the carer, outlining activities and having a goodbye ritual are useful when leaving kids with a babysitter.
