I personally suggest to everyone about to start their Babysitting Business needs a few essentials to get threw the first few jobs. - Training. Thought its not "needed" it looks great to parents, who will relax a little more with their kids in your hands. Along with you will relax too knowing you can handle most emergencies. - A Private Line. You don't need a private ground line, but I would suggest you use your cell phone. It can get crazy when calls get all mixed up. - Organization. Print off at least 5 of the Information Sheets above (or you can make your own with all the same details or more) and get a few 10 cent folders to organize your things in. One folder for: Information (the sheets above). Another for: Babysitting Log (see bellow). And another one for: Payment Log (see bellow) -Babysitting Log. I know it sounds silly, but it's VERY important to keep a Log of your babysitting jobs. Just tittle it with the family's last name, date, hours, and kids. Ex: Johnson, 1/2/10, 4pm-6pm, Bailey. And then give a brief summary (yes the good AND the bad) of the entire job. That way next time you babysit for them, you can go back and see if you really want to take on that job. -Payment Log. This is to keep track of all money you earn. It's really simple. Alot like the Babysitting Log. You Put the date at the top of the paper, and underneath write the last name, hours, and money earned. Ex: 1/2/10 Johnson, 2 hours, 14$. Then you can take your hard earned cash and tuck it away in your wallet. And you'll always have doccumentation of how much you earned.

Hey! To start babysitting, ask your mom or dad to ask their co-workers if they could use a sitter. Start out by watching 5 - 8 year olds, that don't require a lot of attention but are so fun to play with! Bring slong movies and snacks for them to watch, and make sure you aren't too strict. Call ahead for information on family pets or allergies, and who's getting you home. It's easier than you might think. And P.S. If you are not comfortable sitting in a certain situation (newborn baby, vicious dog, bad neighborhood), let the parents know! They can help you find an alternative (like having the kids come over to your house)! Don't be afraid to speak up! For more babysitting advice, comment on my profile! I'll get back to you in about 2 days. Thanks!

While babysitting my younger cousins, I was surfing the Web when I came across a site that was still on the screen from someone else using it. The site was called AcceptEdge and was really cool. It helps narrow your search of colleges in the US and tells you which ones you would be likely to get into to. I think it was up there b/c of their older sister, but since I am 15 and about to start thinking about colleges, I thought it was really neat. It is definitely something that I will use in my future college search. You guys should check it out too!

MOD For the next several months (and by several I mean MANY) I will be sitting my little cousins (one is almost six months old and the other is almost two). I'll babysit 12 hours a week, dividing the hours into two or three days, and I wondered if you had any tips for me? I'm mostly concerned about activities for me and the kids and for me when it's naptime... thanks!
HeartOfSong on 8/4/2009 1:42:54 PM
thats a good idea. i babysit for my 5yr old neighbor.
