I have an 8month old son and my husband and I are keen to go out a couple of times over the festive period. I have to admit I am slightly nervous of getting a baby sitter. I don't know where to start in looking for one or what questions to ask. Should I ask for a crb, talk to their references? My son still has his dream feed around 10.30pm and still sometimes wakes up before this. Not that often but it would be just typical he would on the night we decided to go out. So I would want someone who is completely competent in looking after babies. Has anyone got any advice?

Thanks x

Do you have friedns from an NCT/ante natal group? Or any friends with similar age babies?


I've done swaps with school friends who live locally who have small babies too. It's good as I know and trust them, they know my daughter, they have experience of small babies and they're FREE!

I babysat as a teenager, but stopped when I had my own child. We were never asked anything but knew the people we sat for through our parents. So we were trusted to them. Now she's 4 and I regularly see people wanting babysitters on the forum prehaps I should get back into it! I have the advantage of now having a CRB, a child of my own and having volunteered around mothers and babies, first aid knowledge and a lot of patience. Although the spanner in my works is whether my partner can babysit our daughter after his 60 hour week.. *yawn*

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
