Honor the agreed payment terms for the childcare session. You can add a personal thank-you to say what you appreciated.

Start with specific feedback

You can say what you appreciated, for example an activity they suggested or an exchange that was helpful to you.

Leave an honest review

When the platform allows it, write an objective review after the childcare session. Avoid personal information about the children, the address, or the babysitter’s private life.

Respect their time

Let them know promptly if there is a change, prepare instructions before they arrive, and respect the stated schedules. If a delay occurs, inform them and clarify its consequences.

Keep an optional gesture simple

If you would like to add a gesture to your thanks, you can write a message or a card.

Maintain a clear framework

For a future childcare session, discuss the planned schedules, tasks, and amount again.
