Mindme Information that we provide to help our Clients
Babysitters
Before you agree to take a babysitting job with a new family it’s important that you get as much information as you can about the potential job. Decide which family best suits you and your experience.
After initial contact, many parents will request that they meet with you before offering the position, most probably in their own home. Use this opportunity to get as much information as you can about the babysitting arrangements and the children you will be looking after. Make sure you are happy with what is required of you before you accept a job. By asking questions you will prevent any confusion or problems later on, either on your part or on the part of the parents.

Your Responsibilities as a Babysitter
Parents
It is a good idea before contacting a babysitter on Mindme.ie that you decide what your requirements are. Do you need someone on an occasional or regular basis, what age group you are comfortable with, and are there other duties aside from looking after the children that you may wish the babysitter to perform? Your choice of babysitter should be based upon a number of factors, most importantly knowledge of your own children and knowledge of the babysitter.
Once you have decided on and contacted a babysitter, get to know the babysitter before offering a job. You should arrange a meeting so that you can get to know them and they can get to know you and your children. Use this opportunity to ask as many questions as you can so that you have all the information to decide if the babysitter is right for you and your family. It is your responsibility to engage someone that is responsible, trustworthy and reliable and who will put the welfare and safety of your children before anything else.
