What to ask my prospective babysitter for my infant baby girl due in May?
My husband and I are meeting with the woman whom we think will be watching our baby girl when i go back to work. I have a list of things to ask her, but im wondering if im missing anything infant care related? Anyone have suggestions???
(The basics: She is a mother of two, and she actually used to babysit my husband when he was a baby as well, clean home, trust worthy person, etc.)

there are a few things that have changed since your husband was a baby – just make sure she knows about laying the baby on the back to sleep instead of the tummy like they used to. and also make sure she knows child cpr. I have a close friend whose 4 month old had RSV misdiagnosed as a cold and if the baby sitter did not know how to do cpr then the baby would have died.
I’d give her some scenarios and ask her how she would handle it. They coudl be safety related or just general baby care issues or how her temperament would react to a situation. If she took care of your husband, I’d feel better.
is she a registered childminder because if not i wouldnt use her if shes not a relative or anything, im due in may with a girl too!! good luck x
