Babysitting has been a first
time job for many teens. Here is a guide that can help readers learn how to
treat babysitting like a real business. This guide also has everything a
babysitter would need to know to help keep the kids they care for safe and
busy. This guide has four chapters that
will cover everything from basic rules, safety tips, running the business and
activities for the kids. Chapter one for example introduces basic rules every
sitter should know, such as how to be a good and responsible leader. Sitters
should be role models, respectful, good at communication, and caring. Readers
will also learn tips on safety and how to be aware of their surroundings.
Inside the pages readers will also find a handy babysitters checklist.
When looking at babysitting
as a business they will learn how to manage money, how to find just the right
customers by asking certain questions during an interview by reviewing the list
of suggested questions. Readers can get tips on what to carry in a backpack
that could potentially become a briefcase. It can hold a journal, planner or calendar,
small bills, homework, a book or crafts and activities. Sitters will also learn
different ways to play and interact with the children even those who have some
behavioral issues.
This guide is a great idea
and has mini quizzes to test a reader’s knowledge throughout the chapters.
Wonderful photography that depicts its audience show examples of what teens
will learn. Cool cartoon characters are found inside the pages too. If you
think this tool is for new sitters you might be wrong. This guide, more than
likely, has information for parents, clients and even sitters with experience.
Authors Rissman and Higgins
have put together an excellent resource for caregivers. This modernized guide
to the all too familiar world of babysitting is a must have. Parents and teens
will both approve and find this guide has loads of information that will help
them learn more about the business of babysitting.
Its a, learning so much. Thank you for sharing. whongnhungtran
