It's smart to begin your babysitting career by caring for a young brother or sister while your parent is at home busy with other work. If you don't have any younger siblings, you should arrange to take care of the preschooler of a neighbor or family member while the parent is home. You'll get to practice babysitting, but you'll have help available if you have a question or need assistance.

Since babysitting is a big responsibility, you need to be sure you are ready. Safe Sitter® advises you to:

  1. Prepare
  2. Screen Job Requests
  3. Keep Your Parent Informed
  4. Allow Time with Employer for Instructions
  5. Know Emergency Numbers
  6. Practice Safe Household Habits
  7. Watch Children at all Times
  8. Be in Control of the Children AT ALL TIMES
  9. Obey the House Rules
  10. Have Fun!
