Who is the best baby sitter for my kid?
　　
　　BACKGROUND:
　　A boy, three and a half years old, needs a baby sitter now. He has not been sent to kindergarten yet, and is being taken care of by his grandmother at the moment.
　　He is as lovely, naughty, and energetic as a boy at his age can be.
　　As a native Chinese living in Beijing (红庙路口北), he can only speak a few English phrases occasionally. For example, when he was watching a baseball game on TV one day and a homerun was hit, he said, “应该先打一个double，再打一个homerun.”
　　
　　THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE:
　　To find a suitable baby sitter for my kid
　　
　　MEANS OBJECTIVES:
　　To hear from you guys suggestions with regard to the qualifications a prospect baby sitter should have and the requirements I should keep in mind when looking for a baby sitter;
　　To hear from you guys recommendations on the qualified baby sitter candidates.
　　
　　DISCUSSION 1: Sex
　　A female is definitely preferred.
　　Woman is the soft portion of human being, and is more caring and kind.
　　
　　DISCUSSION 2: Age
　　The preferred range spreads from 18 to 30, with a possible extension to 35.
　　Most under aged girls are unable to take care of themselves fully, and do not have extra energy to take good care of the kid. Therefore, 18 years old or plus is a requirement.
　　A lady over 35 years in age is a bit slow in catching a 3-4 year old boy, who may run around in the yard or play tirelessly all day long, except the 10-11 hours for sleep.
　　When a young lady is staying with a kid, they play together naturally. But when an old lady is in place for the younger one, she has to make special efforts to get into play with the kid.
　　
　　The discussion will be continued next time. Please everybody join this discussion. You can either post a follow up message here or send emails to me at GoParisGo@Yahoo.com for your valuable suggestions or recommendations.
　　
　　Have a nice day

DISCUSSION 3: Education To make a better babysitter, she should be well educated. College graduates are first targeted. A small percentage of high school graduate diploma holders and postgraduate students may also be considered as good babysitter candidates. Each year, a considerable number of college graduates come to Beijing to try their luck. Some succeed, and others do not. For those not, time is also on their side, but their time has obviously not arrived yet. They have to wait. They can wait for the arrival of their time at my home while enjoying her time with the 3.5 years old boy. Listen to me, there is no reason to miss this opportunity.

DISCUSSION 4: Personality A girl with a pleasant personality is welcome by all, including kids. An admirable personality is a reflection of her values, attitudes, and life style. A sunny babysitter with an open mind will make happy the kid, and the whole family as well. To make it clear, I must say that a babysitter is an special member of the family. By special I mean while the other members of the family are related to each other by either blood tie or marriage, the babysitter is bonded to others by none. Yet, she will become one of the most influential figure in the whole life of the kid. A good babysitter is less easy to find than a lover. When you have chemistry with a girl and fall in love with her, you will be fascinated by her, and love her, and love her dog too. You have nothing but love love love, and you will be blinded by love. What is in front of you is a way leading to marriage or a trap. That’s easy. When you look at a babysitter, you look at her objectively. You and your kid may like her, but do not necessarily like her dog. You become much more critical. Ok stop here. You know what I mean.

DISCUSSION 5: Health This point is obvious. The babysitter should be healthy, both mentally and physically. DISCUSSION 6: Looking Beauty is a good letter of introduction. Real beauties are God given and rare to find, but pretty women are everywhere. “Young is beautiful.” A kid may take after the looking of the one staying with him everyday. When my nephew was small, my father hanged on the walls many posters of babies with angle faces. Asked why years later, my father smiles, and said, “the kid has a much better looking now!” What else can you say? Another example is the phenomenon that a loving couple may become resembling each other. What are the reasons? One obvious reason lies in the fact that they have lived together for a long time. And therefore they have watched each other with a tender and adoring feeling for a long long time too. You have the right to reject the explanation, but you cannot deny the fact. A pretty woman will make a good boy. A pretty babysitter will make my kid more handsome.
