No, it is not OK for a baby sitter to spank. There are more effective ways to communicate with small children using listening skills, positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, and respect for the child.

Try some books at the library (stay away from those in the Horror fiction section) and find out more about this. You might also check out "The Supernanny" on tv, these are the techniques that Nanny Jo Frost uses.
If the parent(s) of the chil give the baby-sitter permission yes, otherwise it is aussalt. It is a good way for the sitter to gain respect in my opinion.

When I was little, I got spanked for hitting my brother by a babysitter. Without my mom's permission, who never spanked me unless I bit my brother.

No, babysitters CANNOT spank; even if the parent(s) of the child says yes. Because they have to set certain guidlines in order for the babysitter to spank. Such as, if Tanya hit George. She can go for a time out. But if Jack bit Hannah, than, if the parents says so, Jack can be spanked.

Where can you find a babysitter who does spank?

While spanking a child can be a last resort it should only involve the parents and no other person has a right to spank your child. If your child is naughty then tell the babysitter to send your child to bed early; take away privileges or make them sit in the corner, but no spankings! Some people can get carried away and harm a child.

It's not illegal if your parents gave them permission to do it... Unless it gave you a bruise. It's perfectly legal to spank someone you are babysitting even without permission if it does not leave a bruise.


Is it okay for the babysitter to be allowed to watch the children get a spanking?

If they are the ones doing the spanking (from permission of a parent) it is fine otherwise you probably don't want to watch the child being spanked First and foremost spanking is child abuse, There is no rationale for a child to be disciplined this way. Sitters should never, ever spank a child under any circumstances, It is child abuse.
