Someone who doesn't just sit on the couch and veg out while the kids play. Someone who actually interacts with them, has fun with them, and keeps them in order when they misbehave. Kids shouldn't get away with stuff just becuase they aren't being watched by mom and dad.

Ideally, the best babysitter is your mom or sister(in-laws). Also good are your friends. If I had to resort to a babysitter I didn't know, I'd choose a girl who was at least 16 and had references to her experience and character.

someone who is at least 15 yrs old. who is not lazy and does not sit and watch tv the whole time. someone creative who can come up with new games to play with children. someone who has a lot of patience and has preferably babysat before. and knowing CPR would be a plus.

An extremely mature somebody who is honest, trustworthy, dedicated, and in it for the children, not the money. Someone who I can truly count on at anytime, be it day or night.

Someone spunky and fun who seems to meet the kids needs. Also someone you can trust. You should make sure that they come over to play with the kids even if they're not babysiting. Just to show that they're not just in it for the money.

a clone of myself. Honestly, I could only be satisfied with myself watching my child, otherwise, I'm worried.
