Im a bit concerned about the Babysitting that might be offered.......Especially if it would be you[the house owner] recommending someone....Just makes me feel a bit uneasy .....
Maybe its a sign of the times[what a shame]
I wonder what other forum users think
Sorry to sound like a party pooper and I know it would be a great service to provide,but there could be drawbacks..
This was my reply...
...this had never occurred to me, and I think it is such a sad reflection of the world (or should I say the country) we live in today. I totally agree that we have to protect the child (I have two myself), but I do think that like most other aspects of this nanny state called Britain that we have swung too far.
Are the rules and regulations so stringent in other parts of the world? I'd be interested to hear what goes on elsewhere if anyone has any info. But I think that this needs a new thread so I am starting one in another section of this forum...
So, here we go... Does anyone know the rules/regs/drawbacks about offering a babysitting service, both in the UK and elsewhere....
