Most people find Babysitters through friends and family referrals or through agencies that pre-screen them. However from my observations people spend more time choosing a restaurant and dinner for the evening than they spend checking out a daycare center, or the background of a babysitter. Fewer still check out the person they are having a date with and inviting into their lives and the lives of their children, and the number of people who use places like Craigslist to find roommates is scary. No background checks, no credit checks and the only references they are going to give you are good ones... Agencies are not a guarantee that the person not an abuser or a risk financially, but they are supposed to run credit checks and criminal background checks at least and many of them Bond their sitters, and make sure they have the basics down, CPR etc. and those that match roommates do run credit checks and reference checks with former landlords.
