A few short years ago, choosing a caregiver for your children would have been a matter of hiring a local youth. Times have changed. Parents must be vigilant when retaining caregivers and a background check could very well be the first step. Children are precious and you will want to ensure that the person you are hiring does not have a criminal record or ever been charged with a sexual offense. Numerous firms conduct background checks. SitterCompare can guide you to them.

Even after hiring someone they believe to be reliable, many parents have resorted to nanny cams to record the interaction between their children and the sitters. Nanny cams can be valuable tools, but they may also be illegal. Some states strictly forbid the use of nanny cams. Other states allow them for limited use, as long as they do not invade anyone’s privacy. The best policy is to inform the sitter or nanny they are being recorded, even before hiring them.

A number of useful services have been launched that pairs families with babysitters and nannies. SitterCompare maintains a list of some of the best known and reputable:http://sittercompare.com/sitter-services-review.
