The 5 Babysitter Commandments
by: Ispas Marin

Having a babysitter take care of your kids is sometimes a dangerous thing to do because the babysitter is the person who will be alone with your kids. Here are some ideas about your relationship with the babysitter.

1. You should encourage yout babysitter by keeping her favorite foods on hand. That's because when you find a good babysitter,you should keep her happy, that's what most experienced parents say. Writing a thank you card once or twice a year would be a good idea, too.

2. If you can't handle daily errands and taking care of your kids you can hire a "mother's helper" to come play with your kids. Since you'll be in the house you can hire a less expensive babysitter who has less experience.

3. Any sign that the child has been molested should be taken very seriously. Terror of the babysitter or the demonstration of sexual behaviour while playing might be such a sign. Young adolescents might not understand the intensity of their sexual impulses as much as an adult does, which might lead to the adolescent being tempted to explore with your child. Even so, child molestors come in every age, size or gender.

4. If using the same babysitter regularly, learning to express your desires in a concrete form would be a good idea. Otherwise, you might do just like other parents, and develop a resentment towards the babysitter and forget the fact that a simple request might be all that's needed.

5. If you forget to remind your babysitter that the safety of your child is the main concern while he's in her care, the babysitter may get scattered among the responsibilities and forget the safety issues.

That being said, hope you won't have any problems with the babysitter who takes care of your kids. Good luck!
