What should I ask a prospective babysitter?

While you interview any would-be babysitter, always keep in mind that she will be spending time with your children, so ultimately you've got to try to judge whether your child will enjoy her company - does she have a suitable temperament? Do you think your child will click with her? Is she engaging to talk to? Beyond that, you should also ask some practical questions to see if she ticks all your boxes:

• Do you have any references?
• What is your previous experience looking after children? What ages were they?
• Do you have any first aid training?
• What would you do in an emergency?
• What do you like best about babysitting?
• What would you do if you were unsure about how to handle a situation?What are you interested in doing with my child while I'm absent?
