QUESTION / ADVICE NEEDED

Mothers of Multiples….please help me out! Heck, anyone with a toddler, help me out!!!
In an act of sheer desperation, I have joined this site. I hate to have to rely on the goodness of friends, who refuse to take anything in return. But yet, the hubby and I need to have date nights once in a while. We need to get out. It just has to happen. Even if it is once a month….It is worth it to us to not be beholden to our friends all the time.
What kind of questions do you ask a potential babysitter? What qualities do you look for? Does the age of the sitter mean anything (a 55 year old woman vs a 19 year old girl)? According to the site, I can set up an interview with a potential babysitter. They have references, they have been background checked, I mean it is pretty comprehensive…. Also, what is the going rate for someone willing to take on twins for an evening?
HELP! I’m stuck…….
Next time…

Next time I have a cell phone, I am going to make sure that I put everyone’s numbers somewhere else besides my phone. As I am writing this, my cell phone is drying out. Yes, it got wet. It got very wet. It went through a complete wash cycle. And it is dead. Dead beyond dead. I am hoping that if it dries out I MIGHT be able to get some of the numbers off it. I am sure all the pictures and videos are gone, which really sucks. There were pictures of the kids in the NICU, one in particular of Melissa when she was on CPAP. She was flipping the bird. I loved that picture.
That’s what I get for doing laundry.
Our contract is up in April and one of our phones was eligible for upgrade in December, so I guess you can figure out which one of us will be getting a new phone. When I told the hubby what happened, he told me that I did it on purpose. Yeah. I would have taken all the numbers out first!
We are expecting more winter weather here today and are in a Winter Storm Warning until tomorrow morning. Oh joy! Just what I want, 3 inches of ice!
