Depends what kind of caregiver you would like to be:

ECE - Early Childhood Education

DSW- Disabled Support Worker

PSW- Personal Support Worker (also known as Healthcare Aide Worker)

Those are just a few to mention and each has varying lengths of education.

You will need to take a daycare management course.Pennfoster.com has agreat program for this and it is very inexpensive.You do it all online and is at your own pace.I finished mine in 3 months.They say it can take up to a year to finish based on your knowledge in daycare.It is a very easy course.I hope this helps you!

Try to find people that have kids such as your family members, neighbors, or thos who are always busy and have kids. You can also offer it like if they always have to work and need time for themselves you can offer to babysit.

13 is the generally accepted age. However, this is just a guideline as their are many other factors to consider (age of kids being watched over, any state laws, maturity of sitter). In most cases, it is up to the discretion of the parent.
9 years old seems far too young, even for an intelligent and mature child.

a twelve year old can be a baby sitter, but maybe not for people you don't know, like if you do it for your neighbours it is fine or for your parents. but otherwise it is a little bit dangerous.

he has no mental or physical issues and i know its none of my business but i just want your guys opinion's.

I believe none. I think you have to be at least 12 years of age to start watching somebody else's children.

Well,I wouldn't let 11 or 12 year old watch my children though...

I started babysitting a 6 month old baby when I was 13, but I was under supervision for the first 3 months. Then six months later I was watching two infants at a time every now and then because the mother of the baby I was watching told other parents how good I was watching her baby.

So, a 13 year old can babysit, but I suggest starting off with babysitting one child at a time with supervision until an adult feels comfortable leaving the 13 year old unsupervised. They must be disciplined, responsible, and mature enough to be able to care for another child especially infants and toddlers.

You would have to look at the rules for your state, for most states it is legally 14. You can still babysit at twelve though if you are comfortable with it and mature enough.

Are you sure i can because im increbably mature,really- and i just wanted to know because i would love to make some money...So please ... relpy my messege to you because i wana know.

thank you

most jobs you to be 13 years or older to get a job just for the summer

depends on how much experience he has ...when i was his age i started at 5 dollars an hour...but he can prolly get 6 bucks if he keeps his head up straight. Seeing as I was twelve two years ago I wouldn't say that you can charge very much. Twelve year olds really aren't that responsible and connot be very experienced in babysitting. I would say the most you could charge is $5.50 an hour you should start lower, at about $4.25, and gradually increase. Twelve years olds won't be trusted as much a fourteen or fifteen yearolds so many people would rather pay more for teens with more experience. I started out babysitting for my 3 younger brothers when I was about 10 or 11 years old and worked my waty to my cousins when I was 12. I think it depends how trust-worthy you can be. For example, if you are the youngest in your family or you are an only child at 12 years old, I think you might be a little un-trust-worthy because you don't have any experience. If you are the oldest and have younger siblings, I think you are pretty trust-worthy. Here is my answer to how much you should charge- Have younger siblings/ you are the oldest- $5.00 an hour + $2.00 ( if you are cooking)= $7.00 per hour Only child/ youngest- $4.00 an hour = $2.00 ( if you are cooking)= $7.00 per hour The response before is completely incorrect. It depends on experience, not age!

I think about £50.00 is satisfactory. No, only joking, I would say about £20-£25.

a 12 year old kid doesn't need a babysiter because its too oldtheyknow how takecareofthearselves.

To get started in babysitting try the following: 1. Check your community learning centers and see if they have an Introductory Babysitting Certification course. Often an inexpensive investment ( maybe $20 dollars ) they can teach you , how to handle emergencies, "tricks" to entertain and control young kids, and give you the confidence to start babysitting! A certificate in First Aid is also a good idea, it will show future clients that you are serious about babysitting, and a prepared to take care of clients children. 2. If you have younger siblings and you often look after them when your parents are out, you already have experience in babysitting. Use this as an example when offering to babysit for others. 3. Offer to babysit for family like Aunts and Uncles, etc. Give them a free night and then if they like what you can do, start charging for cash!! 4. Once you have some experience, make sure your neighbours know that you are starting to babysit. Once you can babysit for neighbours, word of mouth will definitely work to your advantage, as you can get good recomendations from previous customers. Hopefully this will get you started!!! Good Luck!

According to CPS (child protective services), the legal "latchkey" age for children to be home alone during daylight/business hours is as young as 8 years old. The legal age for a child to babysit his/her own siblings during any time, but not overnight, is 11 years old. The legal age for a child to babysit children who are not siblings is 12 years old.

No, there are no laws for babysitting in Texas. There are probably laws regarding child care facilities.

it matters how old u are... if u are like 11-13 probably like $6 per hour if u are 14-16 probably $10 per hour The most I have seen being charged is about $15 an hour plus $10 bucks for each other child

No. A ten year old is not yet mature enough to accept sole responsibility for a child and does not yet have the capacity to understand the consequences of his/her actions.Unless they have good parents that taught them well and are extremely responsible (which is very rare).

I am an experienced babysitter, and when you babysit there are TONS of things to do!

It depends on how old the children are for infants to 3 year olds the most you can do is play music and dance with the child, read books, make snacks, watch movies, play with dolls or cars (make sure any toy you play with is soft and wouldn't hurt the infant of child), or you can also roll a ball back and forth!

For 4-7 year olds they are more about talking and walking and running!! so you would need to be on your toes with this age range. What you could do is...Play with toys, go outside, read books, watch movies, swim is a small pool (don't forget sunscreen!), and you could ask the child too! See what they love to do in their spare time!

8-10 year olds (with is as high as Igo in age when i babysit), are a different story. For them you need to warm up to them. They may not be as playful then the younger kids! Sometimes they just like to go off and play by themselves, but if they do this you have to check back on them regularly so the stay out of trouble, as well as asking if they would mind if you could play too!

Only if they are very mature for their age.

hey fourteen year olds are legally able to babysit siblings. You can babysit for friends and family if they so wish, but if they would rather get an older babysitter, it is perfectly understandable. People might think your not qualified and responsible enough for this job. Wait until your 16, then you can babysit any one Not all states have laws requiring a person to be of a specifc age to be employed in such occupations as babysitting. Many teens of your age are quite mature and responsible and do very well at any number of things. Researching the need for various services in your community will help you find what you would like to do, including private childcare.

Nobody ever told me boys can't babysit. It's just that girls have the maternal instinct in them to take care of children since they'll have one of their own someday. Just show that you're able to take care of children, have good first aid skills, and are reliable. Besides, you're only 13. Why do you need a job? Enjoy being a kid and don't grow up TOO fast. It's not as glorified as everyone makes it out to be.
