Have they taken any babysitting classes? (Don't necessarily hold it against them if they haven't, I never did.) Do they know First Aid? Child/infant CPR?

I had taken a bunch of these courses at the YMCA thru the Girl Scouts - my 12 year old niece just took the same course.. so you might want to either checkwith the Y, or your local girl scout chapter for referalls...
those will be younger girls though...
also - in this day and age of the pedophile around corner... be prepared to offer to talk to the sitter's parents as well - would you want your 13 year old at the home of an adult you aren't familiar with?
