Find a Babysitter Over Christmas Podcast Book an Xmas Babysitter on time! We all know how Christmas time can get so busy. With all the parties, travels, visitors, shopping and so much more, managing these things can easily become overwhelming and stressful. So much more if you have a baby to take care of because your nanny is taking a time-off or for whatever reason she can’t be with you. If you need a babysitter for Christmas, you may consider booking one earlier so that it is one less thing to worry about. At Kiidu, we make it easier for you to book a babysitter for Christmas. Depending on your needs, you can book a babysitter for a day, or a full-time babysitter. We are proud that our babysitters are highly trained in taking care of kids from newborn to grown-ups. And should you book an Xmas babysitter now, here are some tips that will help make your babysitting arrangements a success. 1. Communicate your expectations Whether you are booking a babysitter for a day or a week around Christmas time, don’t forget to communicate your expectations beforehand. Being on the same page with your babysitter helps avoid frustrations over something that’s not properly communicated. 2. Discuss what your babysitter can do in case of an emergency Emergency situations can happen when you least expect them. And when they do happen, you would want your babysitter to know exactly what to do. 3. Be clear on what activities are acceptable Christmas time is one of the busiest times of the year when all the malls, playgrounds and other public places are packed with people. If you don’t want your babysitter to bring your kids to any of these places, be clear about it. 4. Specify your food expectations The holiday season is the time of the year when you can easily get overloaded on sweets and high fat foods. While it’s probably okay with you for your kids to eat a small slice of cake, you don’t want them to indulge in too much sweets. That is when specifying your food expectations for your kids is important. 5. Provide a list of your kids’ routine Providing a list with details on the typical meal time, play time and bedtime routine of your kids can give the babysitter an idea of what your kids are used to. This is especially important if you are hiring someone who is not your regular babysitter. 6. Let your babysitter know when you’ll be home If you’ll be out for an entire day to attend a party or gathering, let your babysitter know what time you’ll be home. She’ll appreciate it if you don’t leave her hanging when it comes to the time you will be arriving. If you know you’ll be late, call her and let her know. With all the activities going on during Christmas, having a reliable babysitter who will take care of your kids can give you peace of mind and can make your day less stressful.
