Babysitting is a tough job. You need to make sure that you keep another family's children safe while the parent's are out. Keeping them safe is only a small part of the equation, however. You also need to feed them, bathe them, put them to bed, and make sure they are entertained during whatever time there is leftover! Even though baby sitting is considered a job that teenage girls can do well, it is still an occupation that requires certain skills. You will not be a successful babysitter if you are not someone who takes the responsibility of watching someone else's children seriously. If you carry yourself in a mature manner and work well with children, you are halfway there! It is also helpful to take a babysitting course from your local American Red Cross center or a near-by community college. These courses teach you everything from how to interview for a babysitting job to what to do in an emergency. Parents are also impressed if you have had CPR training. These extra skills can even entitle you to charge a higher hourly rate! It is incredibly helpful if you have these additional abilities because it impresses parents and makes you the most popular sitter in the neighborhood! Impressing the parents, however, is only part of the battle. The children are the ones that you actually need to work with so it is paramount that they like you too. One great way to bond with the kids is through games. There are several wonderful online babysitting games that you can use while you are on the job. All you need to do is some research on the internet a few hours before hand. You might even want to prepare a few days in advance because you might need to go pick up some arts and crafts or baking items. If the games you have planned might be messy, you need to make sure that you check with the parents before they go out for the evening. They might have rules against using certain items or the children might be allergic to certain foods. Just make sure you clear the great activities you got from researching online babysitting games with the parents and you will soon be everyone's favorite babysitter!
