[@izzielalala]

When you’re having so much fun playing with the little ones you forget you’re getting paid... and they hand you money, and you get confused for a second.... smh 🤦‍♀️

I sometimes babysit for that family but we live in a really small town and we like all know each other! It makes it less complicated cause I know a lot of the questions to ask already and know the employer pretty well, even worked for them before in other jobs.

[@izzielalala]

Well that must be pretty helpful! 😃

[@sarahmlt2277]

Great information I love your channel!!! I also just wanted to tell you that my neighbors want me to babysit for them I’m really happy :) Thanks for all the help

[@BabysitterBoss]

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great!

[@Minnow-m2t]

I wanna become a babysitter when I’m old enough I’m currently ten and watching all of your videos to be one of the best babysitters I can be also I do like playing with other kids and stuff so this should be fun also remember to ask the parents if they are allergic to anything to avoid emergencies

[@poonana5615]

Could you please make a sheet so I can give them to the parents. Ik it’s a big ask and you don’t have to do it. It would mean a lot

[@BabysitterBoss]

What kind of sheet? There can be a lot to remember when preparing for a babysitting job, so you can use the information in this Help Sheet to remind you of what you need to know. safesitter.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Safe-Sitter-Help-Sheet.pdf

[@YayForHappiness]

Babysitter Boss you can also check on the Kidsit website

[@YayForHappiness]

palaccino you can go to the Kidsit website and they have forms and check list for you and the parents to fill out so you don’t forget anything.

[@Thatoneshadowinyourcloset]

@@BabysitterBoss the sheet you wrote doesn’t work… do you know why? Also that would be really helpful

[@psychotic_kitten1435]

Thank you so much I love your videos and channel it is so helpful esp ecially since I watch my 4 year old sister 24/7 and I jus want it to be easy and fun for me and my sister I also plan to babysit in the future so this is helpful

as an employer i make sure i itemize the paystub, babysitting is one thing, additional chores are paid for if agreed on.

[@leapsoffaith]

Thanks! Great advice

[@FluteSoloist11]

I’m kind of suspicious about a babysitting job some person asked me, because they were adults, and I’m currently almost 12, but they didn’t add add any period at the end of a sentence, and they even spelled ‘have’ as ‘hav’. I asked if they have been background checked, and they replied that they haven’t been yet, and they wrote: “Don’t worry you’re safe.” That kinda raises my suspicions…should I be worried? What do I do?

[@Sparklelove_23]

thanks this was so helpful

[@alexiegauthier9810]

Question How old do you need to be to start baby sitting

[@BabysitterBoss]

Age isn't as big of a deal as readiness. Take a Safe Sitter class (find one here safesitter.org/find-a-class/) and you'll know if you're ready!

[@alexiegauthier9810]

Ok thanks I did the baby sting class at the age of 9 but my mom said I have to be 13 or 15 is that thrue

[@hassanm427]

hey, so I'm pretty sure if your 9 it isn't ideal because waiting for you to be the Legal age to sit at home alone is also required. for instance here in Australia, you need to be 10 years old to sit at home alone and 13 to take of others at home alone so you need to pretty much be 13 to babysit. Check the legal requirements in your country.

[@alexa2941_]

I want that job , how can I get it?

[@shellytomlinson6470]

You also need to ask if the kids have any allergies to

[@Mayleeplayz]

That’s some good advice but how do I get a babysitting job?

[@jillianbennett4595]

Also, what do you recommend I become certified in?

[@BabysitterBoss]

Safe Sitter. 100%. You can find a class here safesitter.org/find-a-class/. Keep in mind, with the COVID-19 closures, a lot of classes are on hold right now but they will be back!

[@gegalo58]

Great information except for the money

[@rawgerwaters]

Only $9 an hour? The minimum wage in Australia is like $20

[@BabysitterBoss]

In the US, the minimum wage is different in every state and sometimes even within cities within that state. It's super confusing!

[@abeermounir-er6on]

How do I contact an American family for a babysitter job in America?

[@LoversFriends]

Should I get paid before or after the job when I'm babysitting full time?

[@BabysitterBoss]

Usually after.

[@mikkamaria7740]

how much should i charge per hour i’m 11 and starting to babysit and i was just wondering

[@Jaylay399]

My mom is making me watching this even tho I know how to do all of this but I’m only watching my siblings who never listen to me or do what I say or appreciate what I do for them. I buy them things clean for them make sure they have ate and everything and I don’t get paid at all and my mom has money to do so but she just didn’t instead my siblings like to tattle and make up lies to tell my mom and she believes them and when I try to tell her the truth she calls it back talking and my siblings are 11 and 13 year olds and I’m 14 so I don’t even know why I have to show them how to make them a bowl of oatmeal. I don’t understand it

[@Cotton_candy_frog]

Who else is whatching this to learn how to be a parent if older sibling😅

[@tinzatinza7589]

What should be my main job then?

[@Covetedcre]

Allergies?

[@BabysitterBoss]

You should absolutely ask about any allergies a kid may have! Some allergies may be minor, but some are real serious (like need an EpiPen type serious). Going in knowing about any allergies will help you in the long run and make sure the kiddos stay safe. Thanks so much for the great question!

[@clairecass7788]

How do you like do all these videos toddlers kids and I like them it’s a good thing

[@lottielavidge66]

@BabysitterBoss how old should you be to babysit? I'm 14

[@BabysitterBoss]

14 is a good age if you feel confident and ready to take on the responsibility. Take a class like Safe Sitter (find one here: safesitter.org/find-a-class/) to make sure you're ready. It will really help!

[@amywarren8213]

I think anyone over 13 is good if you feel comfortable and confident

Take a babysitting safety class like Safe Sitter! It will give you the confidence to safely care for kids and give your mom the reassurance she needs to know you're ready.

How much you asked for salary?

[@junxue2004]

WHAT IF THE BABIES ARE BOTH GIRLS AND ONE IS 3 HOURS OLD AND THE OTHER ONE IS 9 MONTHS AND THE 3 HOURS OLD ONLY SLEEPS IF SHE IS BREASTFEED

[@sunflowervibezz5003]

Also ask if they have allergies :3

[@BabysitterBoss]

If you are babysitting a child who has an allergy that could be life threatening, ask the employer if the child has an EpiPen (or similar), where it is located, and if the child knows how to use it.
