Questions for Babysitter (not permanent, just occasional)

Okay, DH FINALLY agrees we should find someone to babysit our son on an occasional weekend evening or afternoon so we can have a date or get stuff done. So I have a couple people who are possibilities, and these are the questions I have for them so far:

*How long have you been babysitting?
*What age children?
*How did you take up babysitting? What made you interested in this?
*Are you comfortable with an 8 month old?
*What sort of activities would you do with him?
*Have you handled feedings, diaper changes, bedtimes?
*Do you have transportation or do you need a ride?
*Do you have any first aid/CPR background?
*Do you smoke?
*Please provide some references (I already have a reference for one person, but I would like a couple more)

Other questions? TIA!

Bump--any ideas? TIA!

Re: Questions for Babysitter (not permanent, just occasional)

I would ask the same questions of a permanent babysitter that I would of an occasional babysitter. Either way they are someone that I will leave my child alone with.
