Babysitting 101 and Tips!!

[@pineapplekelsey5951]

ONE REALLY IMPORTANT TIP FOR BABYSITTING!!! Have confidence when you talk to the parents, it can show that you can handle this, and it'll help them feel more safe having you watch their child. Also call them Mrs. And Mr. It shows that you have respect for them. Hope I helped someone! :)

[@lillianjohnson4160]

PineappleKelsey nice tip

[@caylinrobinson1800]

I have a really good tip: if your toddler won't get into their PJ's just tell them that you are going to have a PJ party. I used this for my 4 year old and he got in right away.

[@jasminee8107]

Caylin. R oo nice

[@lily3376]

I like how you said never to leave them unattended, and the kids I'm going to babysits mother said if they're annoyingly to lock them outside 😂😂

[@nikereebokpuma3406]

When I annoy my sister, She makes me lean her bathroom with a toothbrush and I must get it spotless!

[@StarDrawz-lk4rz]

@@nikereebokpuma3406just don't do it! That is disgusting

[@nikereebokpuma3406]

@@StarDrawz-lk4rz How is that disgusting? It isn't like I'm using the toothbrush when I'm done. MANY people use toothbrushes to clean places....Just happens that my sister makes me clean her entire bathroom with one.

[@MckenzieandMolly]

I usually just go on my phone after the child is sleeping.

Kenzie Jaide I read them a story then stay in there room and watch netflix

[@moonlightsims7625]

Whenever I go babysitting I always bring this old American girl book about babysitting for tips (I know so cheesy 😂.) Something's I do is clean the dishes so the parents don't have to come home to dirty dishes, if their room is dirty with toys I tell them to clean their room and I will give them a reward (usually just a sticker or a lollipop if it's not late.) I really do love babysitting but it's also really tiring.

[@sadiestephens2457]

lol i have the same american girl book and I'm 12... lol

[@SxmplyDove]

@@MarlaCatherine my mom said i can start babysitting i will def be using these

[@imsuchadog4384]

im going to babysit for the first time on sunday (not today) and im so nervous. the binder thing seems like a very good idea and i might ask the parents (theres 4 kids. lord help me) what they like to do. they are pretty young, so i dont think the boy would mind coloring and playing with dolls and stuff. are macaroni necklaces a good idea? (ages are 18 months, 3, 4, and one is in 2nd grade so maybe around 7 or 8) also it's from like 6-8 pm so at around 8 should i read them a story? (no ones probably gonna read this but if you do thatd be greatt)

I'mSuchADog baby sitting tonight good luck tomorrow

Jenna Mack ohhhh good luck don't stress out I was and it didn't help anything

[@islafairbairn4847]

Jenna Mack well if the kids are sleeping and you hear noises turn off whatever you doing like your phone and get up and go check on them also if there bored do not ignore tell them what they can do make sure you have the parents number in case of an emergency I think that's all and don't demand money! Good luck baby sitting let me know how it went

[@islafairbairn4847]

[@mijawilson7308]

A GOOD TIP!! If the kids are scared to go to bed make monster spray with thinks like lavender water and other essential oils it works like a charm

[@lindseyadams1896]

Haha loved the Jessie joke!

[@meganjohnson1035]

I'm babysitting today.... also, Jessie on Disney Channel is amazing

[@emma-loucook5262]

I'm starting baby sitting when I turn 14, which is just under a month away, and I'm really excited and I know the children as they are my sisters friends so it hopefully it won't be as bad. Also, as I don't want to carry around a big folder with me every time I go, what would you say are a few essentials to take with you?

[@katelynbond1746]

I personally am a babysitter and I have a "babysitting bag" and I keep some crayons, color books, stickers, paper, pens,

[@stevel7693]

Bring a small first aid kit, a babysitting binder, some toys (ex. Barbies, toy cars, colloring books and crayons, ect.)

[@kendrastasiak7182]

[@mama-isback11]

One of my worst babysitting experiences I made my brother help wipe the girl baby butts 😅😂😂

[@bennyytflstudio9729]

I thought about getting a summer job, and since I'm not old enough to work for a company or a fast food place this would be a good job for me. I take care of my cousins when they come over and my mom has agreed with this job too. So these tips might help a lot.

[@she2fine__]

I don't have patience at all for people who are old enough to know better but with kids 10 and under I learn to just go with their flow because they can get very annoying but you don't want them to be sad of get upset with you because then they won't listen to you they will be whiny and they will tell their parents and that will just let the parents that you might hurt their child's feelings again

[@haleydigirolamo1713]

You should make more of these!!!! They are really good tips and tricks and beginners will definitely be helped

[@MarlaCatherine]

+Haley Digirolamo So glad you found this helpful!! I will be making more!

[@bridgettebowers2126]

this could be a stupid question but what if you have to use the restroom what are the best tips? I know its weird but yea

[@mirandawilcox6841]

Chances are, whoever you’re babysitting are gonna want to go in with you, I took a babysitting class and the instructor told me that it is up to you if you are okay with them going in with you. Personally, if the kid was old enough to be alone for a bit, I would leave them out, if the child was quite young, I would let them come in with me because things like that are normal for them. Sorry this was so long lollll

[@chelseachandler8588]

Tell them that you’ll be back soon and if they were good and stayed still you’d give them a prize. Also make sure you listen very carefully

[@cassiewhite5770]

If they’re young enough just let them in with you or leave the door open just enough so you can see them. Also listen.

I had this one babysitter who did not say goodnight to me and just turned on a movie and went on her phone and now that I am babysitting I will not be like her and my very first babysitter was my favorite because she took me to the park and did projects with us.

Definitely don't snoop no matter how tempting it might because my friend did that once and the kids told the parents they didn't pay her and didn't ask her to babysit again

[@samreenrahman6804]

Any tips for how to convince your parents to let you babysit? I really love kids and I feel like I can handle babysitting and I also want to make money by myself. I can tell though that my parents don’t believe I would keep it under control. How should I ask them?

[@cecestark1833]

I'm 11, and just got my babysitting license making me a certified babysitter. I'm really excited to start!

Great tips! I really like how you did your hair in this video!!

[@kylieberry3416]

im about to start babysitting my neighbor's kid and this helped so much thank you! love you

[@avamagnanti2347]

tip that i learned in a Red Cross babysitting class: buy a big bag of gummy bears or fruit snacks bc its harder for young kids to choke on them (worms can go down their throat), the kids love it, and not a lot of people are allergic to them! use them as a reward if they were really good or something, just make sure the parents are ok with it.

[@georgey1179]

Idk if this is just a thing were I live but we have to take a 2 hour class (I think) on how to babysitting. It's pretty much babysitting 101 and lots of people say its really fun.

[@gigilahr8105]

I liked the binder tip thank you I like your videos!

[@haveyg2472]

My worst experience was when I was nine. I was babysitting four kids under the age of 5! And I was changing a 6 month olds diaper, when I went turned to get the wipes he had rolled off the bed but, thankfully he landed on a huge pile of pillows!!!! But it really scared me and the baby!!!!! I immediately called my mom and she came over and not only reassured the baby but also reassured me!!!!

[@kylee3248]

Great video, I am researching videos for my Girl Scout Cadette's to watch as they earn their Babysitting Badge, and am definitely going to have them watch yours! They will probably want to make a binder too!

Been babysitting since I was 11. Now 19 and have to say that you should expect the unexpected. That is my tip.

[@brookehenderson2055]

my worst babysitting experience was when the kids was screaming out the window when we were supposed to be not drawing attention to ourselves

[@miranda824]

One time I was babysitting these kids and someone knocked on the door. I didn't want to answer it but the kid ran and opened it anyway! This unknown man stood there asking if the bike on their lawn was theirs because they were thinking of taking this kid's bike if they didn't move it now. I would still advise not to open the door, if you are ever not sure.

Hey! do u have any websites for pages that i could possibly use to make my own? I was really inspired by your idea.

[@emmamiller1289]

I frequently babysit for a family that has 2 kids with autism and 1 deaf kid and a 3 month old baby and one time when I was 12 years old I was babysitting all 4 of the kids by myself and 1 of the kids with autism ran away and he usually runs away to a house that's down the street but this time he didn't so I went around knocking on everybody's door and after knocking on about 15 people's doors I finally found him:) But it was hard to find him because I had to take the baby, the kid with autism and the deaf kid with me and trying to get all of them from one house to another was impossible. (All of the kids were 3 years old or younger)

[@emmamiller1289]

The reason they have three special needs kids is because they wanted to adopt kids and nobody would adopt the kids with special needs so they ended up adopting 3 special needs kids.

[@luvbrooky]

I care for my Nephew, Cousin, and soon my Baby Cousin❤️

[@ChloeRoestel]

[@sophieeye4922]

I have a story... When I first started I thought wow... this is really easy.... then the parents left. The kids were screaming and throwing things. I didn;t want to be mean so I was like "find your inner zen" I thought it might be funny... they didn;t think so. When I finaly got them calm. I fed them dinner and started a movie they said they wanted to watch. By this time I was doing their dishes and the parents walked in. The floor was messy, the dishes were partly washed, and the kids didn;t want to go to bed because they "just started the movie". THOSE BOYS WERE WILD!!!!!

[@paytonpoutine9574]

The child I keep babysitting wakes up or always refuses to go to bed, even when I tell them that you should follow the rules or else Santa will put you on his naughty list, she still wakes up. Gotta babysit until 12 am today so I really don't want her waking up when the parents get home, it will look like she was up the whole time. Is there another way to get her to sleep well?
