How can I ensure that my child listens to the sitter while I´m away?
Respect the Sitter
To make sure your child treats your babysitter with respect, let them know that if you hear any bad reports of poor behavior, there will be specific consequences. With your child and sitter present, explain the rules for the evening and remind your child that you expect them to do what the sitter tells them. Also, consider hiring your sitter when you are home so they can learn which parenting techniques are most effective with your child.
