Default Setting Passwords for preventing Internet access

I need help setting up a password to prevent the
babysitter from accessing computer or internet while they
are in my home. We have told her not to and she still
is. Please help me figure a way to access the computer
(mainly internet)only with a password. Thank you!!

Although there are different ways to accomplish this, there is always a possibility
that someone with some computer savvy can bypass them.
One way is to set a password in the bios if the option is available. Anyone that
knows how to get into the BIOS and is familiar with them can easily remove the
password unless the BIOS is password protected as well.
Another way to set a password is suggested he

You cannot trust this person to obey your instructions
regarding the use of your computer, so why in the name
of Saint Francis Patrick Albert Sinatra do you trust her
with the precious, irreplaceable life of a child?
