We've never had a non-family babysitter before, but I've been working on the local high school musical and bringing my girls along to rehearsals. One of the performers who is only in a couple of numbers has been playing with and keeping an eye out especially for DD2 while she's not up on stage. Both girls adore her.
And, she babysits!
Today I got her email address and phone number. And we have a parent-teacher conference coming up in a few weeks that happens to fall right around dinner time. I'm going to ask if she's available...and maybe go out to dinner with DH after the conference...what a luxury that would be!
But I have no idea what I need to know about hiring a babysitter! What questions do I need to ask her besides how much she charges? Hiring a Babysitter 101, anyone?
Thanks!
