A good way to find a sitter is to ask around to other family's. Getting referrals can make you feel better about a babysitter. Once you find one that is worth checking out, ask for references and then check them. Then when you have picked out the sitter that you plan to use let your child/children get used to this person before just leaving them there. I would recommend going to your sitters house or having your sitter go to your house a couple of times before the day arrives.

Be sure that you leave all contact information and a list of emergency numbers ex: Dr. If you take your baby to the sitters house then leave a list of names of the people that are allowed to pick your baby up, just to be on the safe side.
