[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 112591, member: 84"] References are HUGE. Make sure you check each one and that at least 3 are listed. Years of experience, what types of children she's watched. (any special needs) Do you pay at the beginning of the week or end of week? (mine always paid me the monday prior to the week I was to watch the child) Do they work holidays or weekends? Is there a back up sitter for when she's sick? (yes I had one) Will she take Beaner when he's sick? (mild sickness such as low fever, cold, ect)--- I did this for the kids I watched. Daily routine? Means of dicipline? How many children does she watch per shift? Is she CPR certified? Licensed by the state? Does she turn her income in for taxes? (determines cash or check payment usually) What would she do in case of emergency? Make sure you have all of Beaner's docs and phone numbers listed for her along with a list of medications. But what I think most important of all..... If Beaner acts in the slightest way like he doesn't like her, forget it. Kids usually have an uncanny sense about such things. Don't ask him, just watch his reaction to her ect. Hugs [/QUOTE]
