Searching for childcare is never an easy task - Findababysitter.com provides you with the necessary tools to interview & vet candidates in the same way an agency does.

Through the interview & vetting process your confidence in the candidates you prefer will grow. Speaking with other parents who a candidate has worked for is always comforting.

Before committing fully to a nanny or sitter you should spend time with your children and the candidate, this way you will feel rest assured.

Findababysitter.com has some tips to help you feel confident in your choice of carer:

• Ask the candidate to bring two forms of ID to the interview.
• Always check a minimum of two verbal references. At least one verbal reference must be childcare related. See “questions to ask former employers” for further tips.
• Always ask to see a relevant police check – if the nanny or sitter is from abroad and has been living in the UK for fewer than six months ask to see a relevant police check from their home country.
  
  If the candidate has been living in the UK for longer than six months or is from the UK ask to see a CRB disclosure - Always ask to see the original police check.
  
  If the candidate does not have a CRB disclosure or police check s/he may get one through a nanny agency such as Little Ones for around £56. These can take up to eight weeks to process.
• Ask to see the originals of all relevant documents including first aid and any qualifications.
• Interviewing candidates – findababysitter.com provides helpful information for before, during and after interviewing a candidate. Please see how to hire a nanny or sitter.
