I am a college student now, but in high school I took a child care course at my school where I learned a lot about children. Yes, I babysat back in the day. In 5th grade I helped out my mom’s friend with her daycare after school so I got use to being around kids, picking up, making snacks, etc. Then in 7th-9th grade I lived in a neighborhood which had lots of children and a small daycare down the street. I asked the daycare home-provider if she wanted help once a week during the summer so I made up my own craft projects for the kids ages 3-5/6 for an hour every week. I also had a babysitting job full time during the summer for a 4/5 year old girl and was paid about $100/week. It’s amazing how much daycare costs, but lots of younger providers (under 16 or so) seem to get many jobs because they will only get paid $2.50-$4.25/hour from the parents. If you ever notice, college aged or older babysitters ask $5 minimum and some nearly double that and this is just for one child. WOW, so keep in mind price, but make sure you’re mature, responsible, honest, and prepared. Take a child care course, ask to babysit friends little sitters/brothers and ask if you may use them for references. It’s always nice to tell someone you have references. You should create a binder/folder of babysitting ideas/information including sheets of paper with past babysittin experiences, activities, etc so you have something to look at in the future. Good luck!

Me niether!!! That is so mean, think of yourself being a child, would you like that? The best way to handle childrens tempers and get them to calm down is to think back when you were their age and how you felt about babysitters and how they handled you.
