Babysitting Advice from 2 Professionals

In this special episode, Connie and Christy interview their teenage daughters—Emily (18) and Campbell (15)—who share insights from both sides of the babysitting experience. The girls discuss what made great babysitters when they were younger (someone who engaged with them, enforced rules, and kept promises) and offer practical advice now that they're the ones doing the babysitting, including tips on communication with parents, managing mealtimes, and handling screen time expectations. Parents will gain valuable perspective on how to prep both their kids and their babysitters for success, with an emphasis on clear communication and consistent expectations.
