Here are some tips that Care4hire.com highly recommend families using when hiring a caregiver:
1. Do a background check on the caregiver that you hire. Definitely run a criminal background check. If the caregiver will be transporting the children or doing errands; you will also want to run a driving record.
2. Do your reference checks. When getting phone #'s on the references; we highly recommend you can call land lines - since you can track the land lines on who the # belongs to.
3. Make sure you spell out and have a detailed conversation on the expectations for the caregiver. Have the caregiver ask numerous questions as well. Communication is the best tool for a successful relationship.
4. Not sure what questions to ask the caregiver? Take advantage of the sample list of questions we have for registered members atwww.care4hire.com. 5. If you do not see the caregiver often; have a notepad where you can both make notes for a communication tool.

I looked for eldercare as a gift to a family I know. There is one in there zip code. I'm assuming the giveaway is for the care4hire fee, but they would have to pay an hourly fee to the caregiver. Is that correct?
I searched for babysitters near my postal code, and I think because I am in Canada,, there were none. I didn't see if this was closed to US only
