Have​ ​ You​ ​ Ever​ ​ Wanted​ To​ ​ Babysit​ ? Intro. Babysitting has been a thing in which many children love to do, others not so much, but did you know that babysitting could actually help you with you life problems? It’s true, Caring for kids younger then you can take some real patients, but in the end, it all pays off. Have you ever found yourself asking a parent to loan you money or buy you something and you know that you won’t get your way? Well, you can say goodbye to that question for a long time. Babysitting is a great opportunity to earn some money for that brand new video game that you just have to have, or that cool shirt that you’ve been eying for months. Step One: Different Types Of Babysitting Most people will complain, “I’m not old enough!” If that’s you then fret no more, because babysitting does not always mean being home alone. You can be a Mommy’s Helper, that is when you are watching a kid but the parents are still there. This is normally a great opportunity for moms with small children who never have a chance to get any work done. Now, they can wash the dishes, mow


the lawn, clean the house, rake, shovel, garden, water plants, and so much more. Step Two: Your Solution If you’re having troubles, whether it’s with your social life, stress, or anything else, babysitting would never pop into your mind for a solution, would it? If not, then you should go back to your solutions and add it to your list. Babysitting has been proven to be a very affective way to take your mind off things. Also, it is a great way to learn responsibility. This newly­born responsibility can help you earn the courage to consult your problems and more. Step Three: Advertising First problem, “How do I get customers?” This is probably the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard. Have you ever seen a flier? Probably. If so, there’s your solution. A good flier would probably look like this:

Do​ ​ You​ ​ Need​ A​ ​ Baby​ sitter​ ?

If so call ​ #####​ at ​ ###­###­####​ . I babysit children from a range of ​ #­# ​ for the low price of only ​ $#.## an hour​ .


Don’t forget to color or bold important information so that the client will remember. If your name is Michelle, the last thing you want is to be called Chelsy, or Lisa. Step Four: What To Bring Next problem, “What do I do with the baby?” This is a good question, of course it can be answered. Since the average baby has a short attention span, you will need some background knowledge before the visit. For example, if your babysitting the 2 year old toddler across the street and you’re not sure what to bring, have no fear of calling and asking. In order to get a usual customer you have to be able to trust the parents and they need to trust you. Another idea is to ask while you’re there. Chances are, the parents have something to entertain the baby at the house. Step Five: Respect There is one rule ruling over all the rest for babysitting.

Be Respectful!!!!! Make sure to watch out for pretty vases and artifacts, the last thing you’ll want is to break a family heirloom. You want to come back, right? There is no reason to break anything. Most people would argue that, “Well how will I


know where everything is so that I don’t break anything?” Easy! Ask if you can take a quick look around the house before the parent leaves. If you have been there before then the first the you want to do before you leave is take a quick mental walk around their house and you should be ready to go! Conclusion The last thing you have to remember is to have fun. If you’re not having fun then the kids won’t be, and that would make it hard. Remember, babysitting is a great way to open up your life to new people and it is also a great way to help your inner­self.


So Cute!!!!!
