I would suggest checking on the kind of background check the sitter has on her profile. Yes, we all know that the sitters on Sittercity have undergone some kind of background check. That’s one of their good features but it’s also worth checking if the kind of background check they have is “Enhanced.” I normally go for sitters who have an Enhanced Background Check on their badge.

I highly recommend the free report here for avoiding a sitter from hell. It actually lists down 7 steps to finding a sitter. With each step comes a valuable explanation as to how every parent should go about the selection process. The report is definitely a time saver for busy parents like me and my husband.

While it matters that the babysitter has already run a background check on herself, I run one on her as well for my peace of mind. It doesn’t matter to me if her background check is still valid. I feel safer knowing I ran one myself. You just can’t be too complacent these days especially when hiring a babysitter.

I think safety is top priority for all parents, with or without a Sittercity membership; but I get what you mean. There are just some parents who don’t really know how to hire a sitter. If you’re one of those parents, it’s recommended that you sign up for Sittercitty.

Yes, the sitters from Sittercity have been screened but that’s not a guarantee at all. Most, if not all, parents who are signed up with Sittercity take full advantage of the background check. This service runs an in depth check on the babysitter. You will know if she had been arrested in the past or had been issued some traffic tickets. Those things are critical information if you really want your kids to be safe with a sitter. The convenience of Sittercity is actually just secondary. Safety is the top priority.
