When i babysit, i have 5 tips that i always follow! These can help you get more customers, get loved on, and earn some $
1. Look nice and presentable. When you go to their house or they come to yours, always look nice and awake. Parents want to know that their babysitter is alert and takes care of herself. In their head they think "Good, if she can take care of herself, then she can take care of the kids maturely." Simple and useful.
2. Smile! Look cheery even if you dont feel like it. I always do because parents like the good attitude. it makes you more responsible.
3. Bring a goodie now and then. I like to bring treats or games over when i babysit. Kids love surprises and treats! They get excited for you since they know you care and bring something fun to do!
4. Keep em' busy. When watching kids, i always do something with them. Watch a movie, draw, play hide and seek, be involved. The time to text or read is when their tucked in bed, not while they're awake. And too, it's your job, be professional.
5. Fussy toddler. Maybe its nap time or play time, toddlers tend to get fussy or throw a fit. When this happens, make sure to sound positive and find a distraction. If the kids are fighting over a toy, find a solution. use a happy voice, fix the problem and remind them that Mommy or Daddy will be back soon!
SO there you have it. Five simple tips that could make your life and the kids life's whole lot better. Babysitting is such a fun memory and make it fun while it last! Parents always look for good qualities in babysitters. Ones that are mature, responsible, loving and cheerful. Just being there for parents, helps them relax and spend time without kids! So go out there and enjoy yourself!
