The 5 Babysitter CommandmentsWritten by Ispas Marin
Having a babysitter take care of your kids is sometimes a dangerous thing to do because babysitter is person that will be alone with your kid. Here are some ideas about your relationship with babysitter.1. The babysitter should be encouraged by keeping favorite foods on hand. That's because when you find a good babysitter, you should keep them 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 house you can hire a less expensive babysitter that has less experience. 3. Any sign that child has been molested should be taken very seriously, terror of babysitter or demonstration of sexual behaivour while playing might be such a sign. Young adolescents might not understand intensity of their sexual impulses as much as an adult does, that leading to adolescent being tempt to explore with your child. Even so, child molestors come in every age, size or gender.
