Teenagers, especially those age 16 or under, are often hard-pressed to find a job , any job, and in particular, one that pays decent money. Babysitting does provide teens with some much-desired cash and is a job that offers flexibility around other activities as well.
Here are tips for getting a babysitting job as well as for getting a call back for yet another opportunity.
Take a babysitting course along with a CPR/first-aid class for a great appeal to parents. If you desire to watch infants, be sure to take infant CPR training as well. Parents will find your credentials particularly appealing.
Hourly rates for a babysitter varies depending on where you live, how long the service is required, whether there is one or multiple children to care for, your age, and also the time of year (special occasions typically command higher rates).
Find out what the going rate in your area is, and be sure to stay within that range. Also, if you charge one family one amount, be sure to be consistent with another family if all things are equal (such as number/ages of kids). The word on your hourly rate will get around.
Word of mouth can help get sitting jobs; so can creating flyers and distributing them around the neighborhood. Consider also giving out flyers that include your name, age, contact information, training, availability, and activities at your school, church, or other areas that parents will see.
Ask if your neighborhood has an online posting area. If you participate in activities such as dance, see if there is a public bulletin board where you can display your information.
Don't view babysitting as a one-night gig or just something until you get a "real job." This is a real job, and these parents can become important references and a vital source for future work as well. Arrive a few minutes early (but not too early), bring a notebook and pen and take notes while parents give you information, and come prepared with kid entertainment.
Sought-after babysitters have an action plan of activities (consider it your "sitter bag of tricks"). And be sure to ask parents questions and about expectations and rules. Don't plan to leave the house or yard without prior approval by parents. If there is a nearby park, for example, don't just assume you'll take the kids there. Be sure to ask if the activity is okay.
Don't be the type of babysitter who yaks on her cell phone or plants in front of the family television. Be attentive and interactive, or else you won't get asked back. After kids are in bed, be sure to check on them a time or two.
Never invite a friend to come over, and never, ever leave kids unattended for any reason.
A pet peeve of many parents is to come home after a night out only to find a dirty kitchen, muddy shoes, or things in general disarray with toys out of place, etc.
A general rule is to leave the house cleaner than when you arrive. Parents will notice this extra effort, and it may result in a larger tip.
Tell parents of any occurrences that happened while they were gone. Be honest about accidents or things they should know about. You don't need to tell parents about every small detail, however. They don't need to know that Suzy called her brother a name unless it was really bad and/or repeated throughout the evening.
On the flip side, be sure to note any special behavior that warrants a hug from mom or dad the next day. If Sam helped clean up the dishes and brushed his teeth before bed without being told, make a note and be sure to brag about it.
Parents want to know about the good and the bad.
Thank parents for the opportunity to watch their precious children, and be sure to tell them how much you enjoyed them. Tell them that you really hope to be able to see their children again soon, and will be eager for another babysitting job. Chances are, you'll get that phone call.

Are you considering babysitting for the first time? If so, you’re probably wondering what the job is like and what duties you’ll have. Every babysitting job is different but there are some things that parents will expect of you almost every time.
Here are the most common responsibilities of a babysitter:
In this article, I’ll cover a more complete list of common responsibilities that parents expect of their babysitters and how your duties may change depending on the job requirements.
This is the most important responsibility, and it’s always required. That’s why it’s number one!
Make sure children are safe at home and while ‘out and about.’ It’s vital. Parents expect that children will be under the watchful eye of the sitter at all times.
If you need to step away from the child to make lunch or prepare a bath (how this is done, of course, depends upon their age), make sure the child is in safe surroundings and check on them regularly. You can also use a baby monitor if the family has one available.
It’s really important that you get along with the kids you’re caring for, and the only way to find out is to meet them.
Parents will often expect a new babysitter to come for a short visit or even do a paid trial run to see how things feel at the beginning. This is a perfect opportunity for you to create a good first impression with the kids and the parents.
Babysitting secrets revealed! My book, Babysitting Business Secrets , is out now as an inexpensive ebook or full-color paperback . If you're serious about becoming the best babysitter you can be, or if you want to make as much money as possible, then this book is perfect for you. I reveal all my tricks and tips for first-time babysitters or experienced sitters who just want to up their game. Get your copy today ! Or, learn more about the book .
Make sure to dress appropriately for working with kids. When you arrive, be friendly and approachable, and don’t be afraid to ask a few questions, so the parents will know you’re genuinely interested in their child and want to provide the best care possible.
This is also a good time to learn the child’s routine, discuss their habits, and agree on a list of job responsibilities, such as food preparation, bathing, laundry, bedtime, etc.

It’s highly recommended that anyone caring for a young child, especially an infant or newborn, be in good health.
Babysitters should be vaccinated for common illnesses that are dangerous to babies, such as whooping cough (pertussis), diphtheria, H. flu (HiB), pneumococcus, Hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and influenza (each season) ( source ). This precaution is necessary because babies have an underdeveloped immune system due to a lack of exposure to common contagions.
Check with your healthcare professional and be sure your shots are up-to-date. Let them know you are babysitting young children.
Bath time can be fun for both the child and the babysitter but always follow common safety practices.
Always check the temperature of the deepest part of the bath water with the sensitive skin of your inner forearm or toes before putting a child in the tub.
Infants and young children can easily get burned when the water is too hot. You may begin running the water for a bath, and then not realize it has become quite a bit warmer by the time it is finished running. Never put a little one in without checking the deepest part of the water (not just the surface) with your forearm or toes first.
Never leave a child unattended in or near a bathtub!
Get all of the toys, towels, soap, and anything else you might need before running the bath. No matter what the circumstance, you must always be present in the bathroom right next to the tub as long as there is water in it. Allow the phone to ring out, and the doorbell to go unanswered. Nothing is more important than ensuring the protection of a child in and around water.
Read our guide: 25 Kids Water Safety Tips for Babysitters for a more comprehensive list of safety instructions.
If a changing table is unavailable, change the baby on the floor. Never turn away from a baby on a changing table because they can roll off in an instant! And make sure you get everything ready beforehand, including the diaper, baby powder, wet wipes, and clothing because you can’t go get it once you start!

This is often a necessary duty for babysitters taking care of an infant.
Bottles must always be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. You may wash them in hot, soapy water, or use a dishwasher with a heat-drying cycle, which should be sufficient in places where the water is clean. Sanitation, if needed, usually involves placing bottles, teats, caps, etc. in boiling water for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria that washing may have missed ( source & source ).
This process is called sterilization, and it’s normally only done until the child is 3 months old, after which washing alone should suffice.
Be very careful with boiling water! Make sure that no children are nearby while performing this task. Hot water can burn a child’s skin in an instant! Never leave the boiling pot on the stove unattended. Turn the handles of all pots on the stove inward, so a toddler cannot reach up and grab them. This duty is best done after the little ones are in bed.

This responsibility is often expected of babysitters and can present its own challenges.
If the child has food allergies, make sure the parents outline them carefully so you can make all efforts to avoid a potentially dangerous reaction. Parents should keep a list of the foods to avoid on the refrigerator.
Also, if you are going to be cooking during your sit, find out what foods are acceptable to the parents and kid-friendly. Learn how to make fun, healthy versions of child favorites like pizza, spaghetti, tacos, hamburgers, cookies, and muffins.
