Hi... most families looking for professionals to care their family or loved once and want to discuss about their choice for better selection of caregivers like nannies, elderly caregivers to their family. Some suggestion for choosing professional caregiver for your loved once:
First identify the requirements you need from the babysitter or elderly caregiver.
Consult with family members or placement agencies before hiring a nanny or caregiver.
Discuss with as many of caregiver as you can, include the member (Child, parents or elderly spouses) needs Caregiving.
Look at the experience, last record and service review for caregiver before hiring.
In case of nannies clear that he/she steal, lies or insincere in his work.
In case of elderly caring look at behavior of caregivers.

I think the best website to hire a caregiver is ifindcare.com. They have compatibility matching which shows me the most relevant caregivers which saves a lot of time when searching for the perfect candidate.

Carepages dot com is best platform to get more knowledge in this regard.
You should go there.
