Finding the right nanny or babysitter is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We held a very important and informative teleclass last week, generously sponsored by UrbanSitter and expertly presented by Lynn Perkins, CEO of UrbanSitter.
During the class, Lynn shared best practices on how and where to find great childcare, understanding the pros and cons of a nanny, au pair and daycare, how much to budget for childcare, qualifications to look for in a childcare provider, key questions to ask when interviewing providers, how to successfully transition your child to the care provider, maintaining communication and evaluating your childcare provider, and “Babysitters 101” – how to find, hire and how much to pay.
In case you missed it, you can find a link to the recording HERE.
