Tip of the day
Finding babysitters when you're traveling presents its own set of challenges. You need to find a childcare provider for your little one, but you have to do so from afar. Although finding babysitters when you're getting ready to go on the road isn't the same as looking for childcare locally, there are some things you can do to ensure you are dealing with someone you can trust.
* Check with the hotel you're staying at to see if they offer a list of recommended babysitters. Always find out what type of prescreening or requirements the hotel has in place for babysitters on their recommended list.
* Do some research to find out what babysitter agencies are available in the area. Here, you can also be thorough and find out what sort of prescreening measures are in place for individual childcare professionals.
* Use word of mouth. See if a friend of a friend knows someone in the town you're visiting and can refer you to a reputable agency or a babysitter.
* Use an online database, such as Nannies4hire.com, that lets you search and browse through potential babysitters based on area.
