1

The key point

Long days need more than supervision. Agree meals, screen time, play, rest and allowed activities.

  • Book popular weeks early
  • Average six hours
  • Provide activities and boundaries in advance
2

Start with the real care need

Write down the hours you need to cover, where care takes place and the routine your child knows. This lets you compare solutions by substance, not only by a search term.

  • Date, start and finish time
  • Age and number of children
  • Language, allergies and emergency contact
3

Questions for a suitable match

A reliable care session starts with precise information from both sides. Check relevant experience and record expectations before confirmation.

  • Experience with the right age group
  • Availability for the full duration
  • Boundaries for meals, screens, outings and bedtime
4

Prepare the first ten minutes

Plan a short handover while the children are present. Show important spaces, repeat the emergency contact and confirm the sitter understands the key instructions.

  • Phone contact and house key
  • Medication only under the agreed policy
  • Leave only after handover is complete
