How to trust a babysitter?

How do you trust a babysitter for taking care of your kids? I’m an only parent (father out of the picture) to a 6 yr old daughter. I need to finish school and will take night classes next year. I will also like to date for a husband eventually. But I feel so guilty and scared at the thought of leaving my daughter with a stranger. How to do it?

Build up with the babysitting looking after her while you are still home for example tell them you are going to do some cleaning or whatever

I agree with the above. Or work from home while she watches after her and see how she interacts or solves situations. Leave her alone until you feel comfortable. You could also install cameras and check the recordings to see how she behaves when you are not there. It takes a while to find the right one.
