How can you find a babysitter trust worthy enough to leave your children with? Using Reverse Lookup saved the day for us. Our daughter Ally was 7 at the time, and my wife and I needed a babysitter to regularly watch her once a week. I wanted to find one babysitter that we could count on without having to worry about it.
My wife put a local ad out and we immediately began receiving messages from people offering their services. All of them seemed nice, but we had know idea how to be sure who these candidates really were. A coworker of mine asked if we had done a reverse lookup on ReverseLookup.com. I had never heard of this, so he explained that it was a way to find out information on somebody just using her phone number. I thought it was a great idea to cover all bases.
I told my wife and she was all over it. She went used ReverseLookup.com and what she found was shocking. Not only had the woman we were about to hire as our babysitter been arrested twice for DUI, but she also had a criminal record. We couldn’t believe it! We didn’t even think to ask if she had ever been arrested because she presented herself so well and didn’t seem like that type of person.
Maybe she had changed and everything would have been okay had we used her, but there is no way I could take that chance – not with our kids’ safety on the line. Never again will I simply trust my judgment in these situations. ReverseLookup.com is an invaluable tool that anyone can use, and saved us from leaving our daughter home alone with a criminal.
