WellInformedYid – as a few posters have mentioned there is no lack of frum babysitters willing to babysit in their own home, especially in Brooklyn. Besides for these babysitters being frum, they are usually cheaper and have other kids for your kid to play with. If one insinsts on having a babysitter in their own home make sure to properly check into the prospective babysitter. Get references from your friends, not from other babysitters. Don’t waste your time with the references the babysitter gives you. She’s only going to give a person who she knows will say good stuff. Find other references on your own. Do your homework! And once you hire a babysitter, you should pop in unannounced (or if you can’t have someone else do it) and see what’s going on. If you know the babysitter takes the kids to the park drive by and watch from your car for a few minutes. Install a nanny cam in your house. Besided for what’s observed by the public and posted here I’m sure you’ll be very surprised what you see on the nanny cam.
