Childcare choices for parents who work during the day are abundant. For those seeking reliable, responsible care for their children in the evening, however, the selection is more limited. Whether seeking ongoing evening care because of work responsibilities or merely occasional after hours care so that you can go out to dinner and a movie, there are a number of things to consider when choosing someone to care for your child:

    1. For full-time evening care, you'd be best to start with a child care referral company. There are many available and they do some of the weeding out for you. Typically, caregivers who register through referral agencies must be properly licensed and have undergone thorough background checks.

    2. For an occasional evening sitter, you may want to check with your child's regular caregiver if she is currently enrolled in a daycare. This would be a simple solution since your child is already comfortable with the caregiver.

    3. Ask friends for referrals--but be prepared for them to be a bit stingy with the information. A responsible, fun teenaged caregiver is quite a find and friends might not want to share their sitter!

    4. Ask at your local high school if you could leave a request for evening care from students enrolled in child development classes. Such students clearly have an interest in young children and are being taught to care for them properly.

    5. Run an ad in your local paper. Interview thoroughly and check references if the person has provided care for other local families. If it is a teenager who answers your ad, it is entirely permissible to ask to meet with the teenager's parents.
