Well I really wanna babysit because I am really responsible, good with kids, and an looking for money. But I'm only 12!!! I think some people might think in too young even though I am really mature for my age and responsible. Got any tips?? Thanks!




Hey girlie,

Try starting with family members or neighbors who trust you! That way, you can build up experience and references, which you can talk about with parents later on if you need to prove that you're responsible and good at babysitting Smile You could also take a babysitting/CPR course to get certified - that looks GREAT and will help parents trust you even more. And since you're younger, it might be better to try babysitting for toddlers or kids, not babies. (They need a little more attention/work/skill, so parents might feel better leaving them with an older babysitter.) You can do this! <3

I would normally charge about $6 dollars for babysitting, but how much should i charge for babysitting while a toddler's mom is home but busy?

Hey girl,

Being a mother's helper would probably pay a bit less than babysitting, but every parent charges different rates, so negotiate with her!

I have a way older sis so I babysit over night. $10 (and a guitar lesson) for two kids. not bad for family. But I don't really know many people who need babysitters.

Can you please hide this question?
QUESTION HIDDEN Smile



Hey girlie,

That area is full of nerve endings, more or less depending on the girl.  When they get touched, our brain sets off feel-good chemicals, generally resulting in that feeling.

It's not a bad thing at all!  It's completely natural.
