did you do any baby sitting when you were younger? If not i'm sure you know someone who did. Did they have a CRB check?
And as for not knowing anything about her- surely no ones daft enough to let someone look after their kids without checking up on them and getting references first?

It would be great if babysitters (14 years and upwards remember) were qualified, but since when did this become the norm?
What about brothers and sisters are they qualified? Should they not look after their siblings 'just in case'?

I am trained in child care and have a CRB check so i know what people are talking about, and i know how important it is, but the world has gone mad.

And dont try telling me the worlds a dangerous place now, cos it aint! Things were happening years ago just like now.

People, when looking for a babysitter, for heavens sake, take precautions. Talk to the parents if app. and ask for references and experience. But, dont expect your babysitter to come ready with CRB and degree.
