Just for information - please book early if you need babysitting , especially as I like to have some contact with family before they arrive. Then my references can be checked plus parents can find out if I am what they need. Also I dont think it is very fair for the children or particularily safe to call a babysitter the night you need them , its nice if children can meet the babysitter first , even if they are asleep when you arrive they can wake up and be scared.
So please mums and dads make early contact , I am sure other babysitters feel the same.
Obviously if you are in a hotel it is different and the Hotel will arrange , then they are responsible.
Be safe , be sure.
