Check up on your babysitter with myspace

My wife came up with a great idea the other day - why not check on potential babysitters via their profile on myspace? Find out what they are *really* like before you entrust your children's lives in their (capable?) hands.

After all, myspace profiles often provide all kinds of details, like whether they drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. You can see what type of movies and music they enjoy, what their friends are like, etc. Plus, blogs are like journals, i.e. windows to the soul. It's pretty easy to see if they are responsible individuals by what they post...

Even more fun, find out if they said anything about the last babysitting job you gave them! What a great idea! It beats having to set up hidden cameras like they show you on TV.
