7 signs you're a super sitter

  • Be an awesome babysitter

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!

MOD MOD MOD What does it mean when a guy "sorta" likes you and has mixed feelings? my crush said this to my friend about me...what does it mean

 

Hey girlie, maybe there's another girl and he's not sure who he likes more. Or maybe he just doesn't know what his feelings mean. It could be a lot of things. But I don't think it's a bad thing. Sorta liking you is better than not liking you.

Hey I recently took the safe sitter course, and I'm 13. I don't really know how to start a bussiness up though. I don't want to advertise to strangers... Any ideas???

 

Hey girlie, if any of your friends have younger siblings talk to their parents. I bet they'll know other parents who need a good sitter. You can also see if your parents or neighbors work with or know anyone who might need a babysitter.

hi! So I really want to start babysitting to earn some extra money. The only problem is that I have told my family that I am free to babysit anytime they need me, but I haven't gotten anything back. I am the second oldest, and most of my cousins are still too young to stay home alone. Is there any way that I can start babysitting or get them to let me babysit? I can't put my name and email up at my church because my church is just older people that just have grandkids. Is there anything else I can do to start? Also what do you think is a good rate per hour / per kid for babysitting?

 

Hey girl, have your parents talk to their friends! It depends how old you are and experienced. I would go for $8 an hour.

Help! I just got new neighbors a couple months ago and they have really young kids! I only met them once and I really want to babysit for them. But because they are young kids and its cold outside I never have the chance to ask them if I can babysit. What should I do?

 

Hey girl, just give them a phone call and let them know you're available if they need!
