Sitter questions

[game blouses]

DH and I are looking for a babysitter for date nights. My mom usually watches DS, but she's almost 2 hours away and doesn't like to leave our house later than 8, which makes for somewhat lame date nights. What questions or ground rules would you have for a potential babysitter?

NO BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIENDS present. I had a babysitter who was allowed to bring her BF over because she was a close family friend. We lived on a farm, and my sister and I left the house and hid in the field for 1-1/2 hours before she realized we were missing because she wasn't paying attention to us, was just paying attention to BF.
