my babysitter was my sons friend who was 17 and had been a family friend for years...he knew the children has first aid knowledge and a very practical head on his shoulders...I paid him £12 for a night out from 8-12 and after 12 it was an extra £5 an hour..but my children got a lot from it..he helped with homework and read stories...a real treasure..now aged 26 he is a soldier in army...lol...bit of a difference...most of all I knew I could trust him and thats what u need to feel..
