You’re pretty sure you’re an awesome babysitter, but how can you know for sure? Well, we’ve got seven signs that say you’re the top dog in your town. Talk about sittin’ pretty!

 

 

When you clap your hands and announce that it’s time for bed, the kids actually go

 

Your clients book you months in advance for a special date

 

Word around town is you’re the sitter of the moment…and your sched is filling up fast

 

You know that flier you posted on your library’s babysitting board? Yeah, all the pieces with your email written on it have been ripped off. Time for a new sheet!

 

When you mention the possibility of an increased hourly rate, parents crack open their wallets without batting an eyelash

 

You routinely tidy up when the tots are taken care of—dishes are done, trash it out, pet is fed.

 

As soon as you walk through the door, they can hardly way to see what’s in your babysitting bag. Craft time!

 

The ‘rents are totally cool if you ask if a friend can help ya take care of the children one afternoon.

 

The kids make you cards for V-Day, Easter, Babysitter’s Appreciation Day. Wait, you mean that’s not a real holiday? Huh.

 

 

How do you know you’re pretty much the best sitter on your block? Tell us in the comments!

So I'm having money problems. I kind of babysit a lot, but I haven't been getting a lot of jobs recently. I have to pay part of my phone bill, so I'm in debt with my mom. I'm having trouble keeping organized though. I'm not sure what I've paid her and what I haven't. Is there any way to get more organised on this? Thanks.

I know I'm a good babysitter when the kids ask when they will see me again.

Are there 7 signs that you arent a very good sitter?

Sometimes I feel like I am really good at sitting and then sometimes I feel I am the worst at it. Does anyone else ever feel that way?

MOD MOD I'm 12 in 7th grade and a TOTAL tomboy. I love sports and HATE talking about boys, make up, or anything girly. I typically wear basketball shorts (that are guys shorts) or jeans and a t shirt and I own one pair of shoes (they are running shoes) because I HATE shopping so much. My mom is all worried because she says that I need to act more like a girl, but I HATE girly stuff!!!! What should I do?? Should I girly it up more or talk to her???



 

Hey girlie, there are ways that you can look nicer without being too girly. You can get some nicer tops, shorts and shoes without having to wear dresses or skirts or heels.
