I always trusted my younger sister, Claire. She was two years younger than me and worked as a nanny, so I believed she could handle children well. As a single mom with a demanding sales job, I often leaned on her for help. Once, she even picked my kids up from school and took care of them during an important client meeting, and I was so grateful. So when I had to leave town for a work conference, asking Claire to babysit seemed like the obvious choice.
