An application seems super excessive to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/application-for-new-babysitter#post-2183192 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:22:35 +0000 psw27 2183192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just met my potential babysitters in person and asked them all the relevant questions - CPR, background, how long babysitting, comfortable with infants, etc. I also used care . com so I know she had already had a background check and license check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/application-for-new-babysitter#post-2183159 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:09:54 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2183159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently hired a babysitter and I went through urban sitter, so they are already vetted and have background checks and stuff. And I just had her over to my place for a few minutes. I'm more laid back than most, though.</p> <p>ETA: I don't know her address or anything because I guess I don't see how that would be relevant. I'm not going to her house... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/application-for-new-babysitter#post-2183148 Tue, 19 May 2015 12:05:22 +0000 firegirl 2183148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are finally meeting prosepctive babysitters later this week. I have 21 month twins and it has mainly been us and family when we need time off.<br /> I have a new job and I met a co workers friend who gave me some of the numbers to her sitters. Since I don't really know any of these people how do I find out information other than meeting them? Do I have them fill out an application. Thats what I really want to do because I think it is important to know there address, emergency info etc. Or am I crazy? </p>
