<div><br/><br/>This article is about bad babysitters and how to spot them. This isn&#8217;t a very pleasant subject, but, if you have a bad sitter, you want to know as soon as possible&#8230;the wellbeing of your child is at stake.<br/><br/>It isn&#8217;t always easy to tell if you have a bad sitter, because it is easy for a lazy or irresponsible one to put on a good front when talking to you. So you need to know the signs of a bad babysitter so you can find them out as soon as possible.<br/><br/>7 Signs Of A Bad Babysitter<br/><br/>1. Your sitter is not punctual. This is more important than you may think. Punctuality is a sign of being responsible. Sure, there are times when you cannot help being late because of traffic or what have you, but if your sitter is habitually late, she is irresponsible. And irresponsible sitters are not good sitters.<br/><br/>2. Your child is not happy when he or she knows the sitter is coming or when you talk about her. If your child looks fearful or reacts in fear over the sitter, you can be sure something is wrong. Babysitters should be lovable and loved by your child. If she is a good one, your child will be happy to see her once your child gets to know her.<br/><br/>3. Your child has become anxious or nervous since you started using your sitter. This is another bad sign; although there may be other reasons your child may be acting like this. If your child seems anxious or nervous, it is a signal that your sitter may be the reason.<br/><br/>4. Your sitter does not want to talk about what she and your child did while you were gone. Every parent wants to know how things went when they get home&#8230;in detail. If your sitter seems to avoid telling you or is very vague about the babysitting session that can be a sign that she is not doing her job.<br/><br/>5. Your babysitter does not do the things you asked her to do while watching your child. Most parents leave a list of important thing to do for the sitter. If your sitter wants to do her own thing and ignores your things, that is bad. She is supposed to be working for you and supporting your efforts to raise your child.<br/><br/>6. Too many booboos (accidents). Accidents and booboos do happen, but they should be few and far between while being watched by a babysitter. After all, watching your child is her whole responsibility while you are away. And if she is doing her job and not chatting on her cell phone most of the time, then very few accidents will happen. Of course, accidents happen even when your child is with you, but they still should be very seldom when with a sitter.<br/><br/>7. Your child is dirty and your home is messy when you get home. This should seldom, if ever happen. Of course you do not hire a babysitter to clean your house, and messes can happen right before you get home. But, if she is conscientious, she will usually have both your child and your home looking as good as when you left when you get home.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Claude J Anthony</a></strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>

<div><br/><br/>Choosing your baby&#8217;s day care arrangements is one of the hardest and most important decisions any set of working parents will ever make. You want to be absolutely certain that your child will grow in a loving, nurturing, safe environment and that you can feel good about leaving her in others&#8217; care for a large part of her day. Here are five essential tips and characteristics to look for during your selection process.<br/><br/>1.	Age-appropriate care: You simply won&#8217;t feel comfortable leaving your baby in a facility that caters to children of all ages. No matter how many safeguards are put into place or how many caretakers there are, you can never be sure that your child will be safe or get enough attention. It is best to select a daycare that caters only to children ages six weeks through kindergarten: in this way you can be confident that early childhood development is the staff&#8217;s only area of focus.<br/><br/>2.	State-of-the-art nursery facilities: The daycare&#8217;s nursery area should be light, roomy, and have the appropriate ratio of cribs to babies. Look for cleanliness above all along with staff that is highly trained in infant care. The daycare should not feel like a &#8220;baby repository.&#8221; The nursery area should be a special place where infants are nurtured, played with, and get plenty of attention throughout the day.<br/><br/>3.	Only the best caretakers: When touring a facility, do you like the people who work there? Are they caring professionals who have extensive training in early childhood development? Ask about the specifics regarding employee/staff ratios and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask as many questions as you want to about qualifications and daily schedules.<br/><br/>When your baby&#8217;s welfare is at stake, only the best will do: so take the time to thoroughly research your options, and then choose carefully.<br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Ryan Coisson						</a></strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>

<div><br/><br/>This article is about bad babysitters and how to spot them. This isn&#8217;t a very pleasant subject, but, if you have a bad sitter, you want to know as soon as possible&#8230;the wellbeing of your child is at stake.<br/><br/>It isn&#8217;t always easy to tell if you have a bad sitter, because it is easy for a lazy or irresponsible one to put on a good front when talking to you. So you need to know the signs of a bad babysitter so you can find them out as soon as possible.<br/><br/>7 Signs Of A Bad Babysitter<br/><br/>1. Your sitter is not punctual. This is more important than you may think. Punctuality is a sign of being responsible. Sure, there are times when you cannot help being late because of traffic or what have you, but if your sitter is habitually late, she is irresponsible. And irresponsible sitters are not good sitters.<br/><br/>2. Your child is not happy when he or she knows the sitter is coming or when you talk about her. If your child looks fearful or reacts in fear over the sitter, you can be sure something is wrong. Babysitters should be lovable and loved by your child. If she is a good one, your child will be happy to see her once your child gets to know her.<br/><br/>3. Your child has become anxious or nervous since you started using your sitter. This is another bad sign; although there may be other reasons your child may be acting like this. If your child seems anxious or nervous, it is a signal that your sitter may be the reason.<br/><br/>4. Your sitter does not want to talk about what she and your child did while you were gone. Every parent wants to know how things went when they get home&#8230;in detail. If your sitter seems to avoid telling you or is very vague about the babysitting session that can be a sign that she is not doing her job.<br/><br/>5. Your babysitter does not do the things you asked her to do while watching your child. Most parents leave a list of important thing to do for the sitter. If your sitter wants to do her own thing and ignores your things, that is bad. She is supposed to be working for you and supporting your efforts to raise your child.<br/><br/>6. Too many booboos (accidents). Accidents and booboos do happen, but they should be few and far between while being watched by a babysitter. After all, watching your child is her whole responsibility while you are away. And if she is doing her job and not chatting on her cell phone most of the time, then very few accidents will happen. Of course, accidents happen even when your child is with you, but they still should be very seldom when with a sitter.<br/><br/>7. Your child is dirty and your home is messy when you get home. This should seldom, if ever happen. Of course you do not hire a babysitter to clean your house, and messes can happen right before you get home. But, if she is conscientious, she will usually have both your child and your home looking as good as when you left when you get home.<br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Claude J Anthony							</a></strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>
