		<description>Finding a nanny/babysitter can be a little overwhelming. But figuring out where to look and what to look for when finding a nanny/babysitter doesn’t have to be difficult.  Having a checklist of what to do and what not to do will help you in your search. Finding a nanny/babysitter online is actually very safe and reliable.  Here are some tips about how to successfully find a nanny/babysitter.
Know what you are looking for when searching for a nanny.  When finding a nanny/babysitter, give yourself ample time to conduct your search. Settling for someone you’re not sure about can leave you uneasy about your child’s care in your absence. 
1. Will you need a live-in or live-out. A live-in nanny is someone who lives inside your home.  You will need to provide him/her with a private bedroom and either a shared or private bath.  A live-in nanny does have their specified hours they work and will have down time.  A live-out nanny is someone who comes to your home on the specified hours you have agreed upon; but does not live in the home. 
2. What hours will you need someone?  A nanny/babysitter can work full-time, part-time, temporary, summer, 24 hour duty, etc.  A full-time nanny can work anywhere from 30+ hours per week.  A part-time nanny can work anywhere from 5-30 hours per week.  Some families who hire part-time nannies will need someone 2-3 full days per week; while the next family may need someone for before/after school care every day of the week.  Summer nannies generally work 2-3 months during the summer and temporary nannies are hired for on-call situations from 1 day to a few weeks at a time.  Many nannies will make a year commitment if that’s what the family wishes.  Remember to specify the specific hours/days of the week you will need upfront. </description>
