7 Ways to Show R-E-S-P-E-C-T for Your Sitter

R

E – Express your gratitude with thank you notes, remembering her birthday and occasional small gifts.
S – Stay on schedule. Arrive on time. Keep changes to a minimum.
P – Pay on time.
E – Ensure your childcare provider that you will back her decisions and that your children know she is in charge.
C – Compensate her wages with a yearly bonus.
T – Time off. Give your childcare provider paid personal days. She needs to rejuvenate, too.
