How to be a good babysitter

If you are new to babysitting, here are some tips to get you started.

- Start by being a babysitter to just one child. Handling multiple kids at once makes babysitting a lot harder. Once you get comfortable watching one, then you can move on to handling more.

- Meet the parents and the child ahead of time. This way you'll know ahead of time (when there is still time to back out) if this seems like something you are ready to handle.

- When sitting, never open the door for strangers.

- Never tell people on the phone that the parents are out and you are baby sitting.

- Before the parents are come home clean up any messes you and the kids have made and tidy up the areas of the house you have been in. Make sure to leave the house in the same, or better, condition than when you arrived. The parents will appreciate this and will be happy to have you back.
