I think as long as you don't abuse their trust/house/possesions etc you should be fine

The times i have used a babysitter have been fine..they ate the crisps/pizza/chocolate or whatever was available

drank all the coke/lemonade or juice

but left the alcohol, just like I told them...(I also pin numbered any unsuitable channels on sky)

and seeing as you already work in a nursery you should have a CRB check to show them to put any minds at rest

so good luck

when we've had a babysitter - the only thing that bugged me was they didn't clean up after themselves, pots and pans / cups dishes left out instead of going in the dishwasher

other than than - what chez said, about abusing trust / house posessions etc

Ive had a lady do a really good job of taking care of the dogs/cats/house while I was away. My only complaint is that she obviously

let the dogs get nice n muddy then hop all over my brand new furniture, lol. But no biggie theyd have done that anyway at some point.

Coincidentally im going to Animal Behavioral College and getting my certs in dog training and veterinary assisting...and later im getting a cert

to petsit. Once we move from hawaii Im going to start my own business.
