6. Use Your Mother’s Instincts
People often joke around about your instincts as a mom, but most of the time you’re spot on with how you feel. If a potential baby sitter doesn’t feel right, then DON’T hire them. It’s your children and you don’t want to regret not listening to your instinct should something happen while you’re gone. Evaluate your opinions and be honest with yourself. Are you just being overprotective and picky? If you have a real concern, go with your gut.
