FAQs for finding an infant babysitter
How old should a babysitter be for an infant?
While all states have varying laws surrounding how old a babysitter needs to be, all Care.com infant babysitters are 18 years of age or older. You can trust your gut when it comes to age, but hiring someone with more experience can be helpful when you have an infant.
Can I make babysitter instructions for an infant?
Many families and sitters find it helpful if the family creates detailed instructions for how to care for their infant, such as what their diet is, what their nap schedule looks like, and if they have any allergies or other concerns the infant babysitter should be aware of.
What is an infant babysitter?
The roles an infant babysitter takes on can vary, aside from caring for the child and keeping them safe. Some infant babysitters may help with light household tasks like laundry and meal prep, others may help run errands or travel with the family so they have an extra set of hands available during a vacation.
Is hiring an infant babysitter safe?
All infant babysitters on Care.com are background checked annually—this background check is called a CareCheck. For parents who want extra peace of mind, we strongly recommend doing your own due diligence before hiring an infant babysitter. You can interview candidates, check references, and run your own background check.
