Childcare and Babysitting

According to a daycare worker, you can have 5 children older than 2 in a daycare without a license. For babies, it's 3.

It depends where you are in the world.

In the UK a lot of people are under the assumption the age is 14 or 16.

Legally, however, there is no minimum age to babysit a child in the UK. The babysitter just has to be of sound mind and capable of looking after someone other than themselves.

(I once had to ask the local Council who referred me to the Police for an answer. That's what they told me.)

what are some advantages and disadvantages of child care service

easy. stop changing a two year old's diapers and start potty training.

problem solved. NEXT!

Any information about children, families, or staff.

Routines are important for children. If children are used to eating healthy foods (and not junk or fast food), then that will seem normal and routine for them. Children should also be encouraged to play outside as much as possible.

There isn't a 'legal' age. It's pretty much whatever the parents want. That if, of course, if you are just watching kids for a family you know. However, if you want to get a job at a child care place, then it depends on the place itself

well probably 12-13 and up our maybe the parents would like the sitter to be a certain age to baby sit because lots of parents would like the sitter to have experience so it probably depends on how old the person is to but i am only 9 and would really like to baby sit to

try giving her milk and if she doesn't want any try holding her and shaking her and singing lullabys or go to youtube and put some lullabys for babies or just play with her until she gets really tired and maybe she'll fall asleep by herself and you can do those things that i told you to do and she will fall asleep hope that works :)

I am not sure where you are from but it is never appropriate for anyone to bath a male or female over the age of 5 or 6 let alone a preteen or teenage boy or girl. As a matter of fact it is illegal and you can be charged for child molestation or worse. Imagine your life after having to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. I wonder if you think it would be ok to bath a 15 year old girl? Quit being silly, listen to that little voice in your head-NONONONONONONONONONO.

you could do chores such as take out the trash, unload dishwasher/wash dishes, dust, sweep, clean toilets, clean windows, clean up the house, walk dogs, hold a garage sale, and save money from Christmas and your birthday. if you have a sibling, you could make a deal with your mother or someone that each month you don't fight with them, you can earn $5. that's what my brother and i do and it is an easy way to make $60 a year. you could also mow the lawn, babysit, set the table, or make your bed everyday. i have never tried this but i hear you can take surveys on the internet to make fast money. another thing i have tried is just straight out asking your mother if you can have a dollar once in a while. my mom doesnt ask what for and she just gives it to me. don't ask for too much, though. another couple ideas i have is to water neighbors plants or petsit while they are away if they will let you.

This is important - in order to compy with HIPAA guidelines, in all healthcare settings. Confidentiality means that one does not share the name of a patient with anyone outside of the care setting. It also means that records must be appropriately safeguarded. Also, if messages or phone calls come in for a patient, it is important to check (with the patient or guardian, if necessary) to see if the contacting person is on the "OK" list. Otherwise, information cannot even be given to the contacting person that the patient they are trying to contact is even present. And there are several more regulations, as well.

There's no minimum age for babysitting. Working on the assumption you live in England or Wales, there's no straightforward answer to your question. There's no legal minimum age that a child can be left alone at home, although endangering a child by leaving them unattended is an offence. NSPCC guidelines recommend most children under 13 should not be left unsupervised for long.

You have to be at least over the age of 12. I baby sit and I'm only 13, and she is 8. As long as you are responsible you should be able to babysit

Running record is use to observe and document children's interests and strengths.its main purpose is to gather information about what a child is doing at the time and this has to be written into the programming plan and follow up depending on the child's interests .

There is actually a law that states a child is not to be left home alone below the age of 16 in Nebraska. Therefore the legal age would be 16 years old in order to babysit.

None, zero, zilch, nada. Unless they are related to you, you can not baby sit more than 4 weeks in a calendar year.

For short term assignments.

Actually, yes you can. As long as you know what you are doing, it should be okay. You should have tons of experience before you babysit though; as in helping an older sibling or parent while they are babysitting.

Only two states have legislated it, one lists 13 and one lists 14 to take care of others. Most people believe that a 12 year old can be left alone for short periods of time during the day. If they have had some training, such as the American Red Cross babysitting course, I'd consider it.

According to state law, 13 years old is the age for babysitting. But i don't think that necesarily applies for siblings.

Here's the thing: Michigan state law is an odd thing. There is no statute on the age one sibling can watch another. There is a statue on babysitting, and 13 is indeed the age. So, under the law, an eleven year old brother could watch his eight year old brother with no consequences. However, if there would be an incident where either of the boys is injured, becomes ill and requires medical attention, or law enforcement gets involved for any reason, the parents could be held criminally liable under neglect laws. The state can do nothing before, but they can destroy your life after.

I'm almost positive it is 16, provided you can support yourself you can show you can legally support yourself money wise. For more information, go to your local social services department.They'll give you all the advice you need.Even help financially!

Goodluck!
