Summary

Babysitting is one of the most popular part-time jobs for teens, but caring for kids is no easy feat. Offering useful tips on everything from navigating naptime to negotiating pay rates, this funny, no-nonsense guide covers all the basics any babysitting hopeful needs to know and much more. This revised edition includes updated ideas for finding jobs, keeping kids-and yourself-safe, and handling behavioral challenges. Learn what to expect from kids ages 0 to 10, how to land (and keep) the perfect babysitting gig, what to do in situations ranging from dirty diapers to emergencies, and how to communicate with parents. Plus, read real-life stories from teens about their experiences on the job. "[T]his is a wonderful resource for tweens and younger teens ready to begin working as a babysitter or sitters with limited experience who are looking to expand their knowledge." –Children's Literature "With sensible and practical suggestions for a wide variety of situations, this is a welcome update."-Kirkus Reviews
