Kidz Kare Offers Babysitter Tips to Make an Evening Out Enjoyable

Kidz Kare at home is a phenomenal resource for moms. They provide lots of helpful tips on caring for children and they deliver skilled nursing care and education to help children become well. They have been in business since 2004 and have cared for thousands of newborns and children.

A recent discussion with them resulted in some important tips for babysitters who have responsibility for keeping children safe and healthy. Kidz Kare provides these important guidelines when engaging a sitter.

Babysitter Tips

1. Have your sitter come over 15 minutes before it is time for you to leave. This gives you a few minutes to finish getting yourself together without the kids distracting you. Also use this time to discuss house rules, medication information, where you will be and emergency information she or he will need.
2. Be sure your babysitter has emergency information, information about your children (age, allergies, etc.) and details on where you will be. Sign up on our Kidz Kare website and receive our free babysitter checklist.
3. Consider calling home at least once while you are out, especially if you are not easy to reach. See if there are any potential problems like the children do not want to go to sleep. You can then suggest something like a favorite book to help them go to sleep.
4. Get home a few minutes early and spend a few minutes talking to your sitter. Ask her if she had any trouble with the children’s behavior, trouble finding anything or any phone calls you should be aware of. You want to be sure she knows you care about her comfort level and the children’s cooperation. Then check with your children the following morning to be sure they enjoyed her visit.
5. How much do you pay your babysitter? An informal survey at RichmondMom’s facebook page determines the appropriate amount for a babysitter caring for 2 children in the Richmond area is around $7-10. I sometimes bring home ice cream for my sitter as a reward and she loves it.

If you ever have any questions about providing care for a sick child, or keeping a child well, Kidz Karz is an excellent resource. Visit the Kidz Kare website and see all that they have to offer. You may find something that makes a huge difference in the health and safety of your children.
