Is Your Potential Babysitter Organized Enough?

by Genevieve Thiers

Your potential sitter lists "organized" as a character trait on her resume, mentions it six times in the interview and prides herself on it on a daily basis. But is that really true? Before you hire a sitter, take this quiz to see if she's really as organized as she claims -- because if she's not, the relationship will be plagued with chaos instead of clarity.

  1. When you posted the babysitting job online, the sitter's emailed response was:
    • Very short and indicated an aversion to correct spelling.
    • Detailed enough without being long-winded, with maybe one typo.
    • Practically a novel -- and strangely free from any typos, misspellings or grammatical errors.
  1. Your potential sitter arrived to the interview:
    • Early (and eager).
    • A little late (and flustered).
    • Right on time (and calm).
