How old do you have you be to babysit?
It depends. How responsible are you? How old are the kids you'll normally be babysitting?
How do you stop your baby from crying?
As long as your baby doesn't have a fever try the good old rocking chair. Babies generally loved to be held close and rocked. I've heard that some parents have had to take their baby for a drive and the motion of the car has put them to sleep.
If the crying continues for more than 4 - 5 days it would be a good idea to take the baby to the doctor to be sure there is nothing wrong. Perhaps (if you are breast feeding) the baby isn't getting enough milk, or, the baby could have colic, etc. See the doctor!
AnswerI agree with the first answer, but I thought I'd contribute my rules of thumb.When a baby is crying and it seems like you're doing everything imaginable but the crying won't subside, what you need to remember is to relax..take a deep breath..and calm down. A baby can tell when its caretaker is uneasy. They will reflect the emotion that they feel coming from you. To answer this question, it honestly depends on how old the baby is. But in general..ask yourself these questions:
1.) How long has it been since the last time that they ate?
2.) Do they need to burp? They could have a lot of gas that will make them cry for hours. If it's not a burp, the baby could be crying because he/she has to poo. To some babies, this is painful, or just a foreign feeling to them. Help them out by buying Mylicon from walmart or any other grocery store. It eases the pain, and allows the gas to pass through easier.
3.) how long has it been since you last changed your baby?
4.) Is the baby colic? Sometimes, babies will have extremely bad acid reflux. This will make it burn their esophagus after they eat, which in turn will make them want to eat more because it feels better when the milk is going down. However, they will cry and cry afterwards because it hurts. I would recommend not feeding them just to sooth the pain. If this is the case, but some warm water into a bottle with a teaspoon of cyro syrup (makes it kind of sweet)..this should soothe them without hurting your breasts, and without over feeding them which would lead to an upset stomach and throw up.
5.) Is the baby sleepy? Rock the baby, sing to the baby, pat the baby's bottom
6.) The baby just might want to be left alone (not really alone). Lay the baby on a blanket on the floor; sit beside them and let them see their surroundings. Some babies feel too smothered by arms and want to be a little more free ((This depends on the age of the baby; If you're speaking of a newborn, then this probably isn't the way to go)).
And finally 7.) If this is a newborn that you're speaking of, try swaddling the baby. They were cooped up for so long in the fetal position, that it feels to them as if they are not safe and secure if they are not wrapped tightly (not too tight).
How do you get people to know you want to babysit?
You should show her that you are responsible - so if you have a pet , you should maybe feed it (if it is a dog) take it out for a walk. if your room is messy, tidy it up. if you have a smaller sibling or family -look after them , play with them and if that doesn't work.
What to do when babysitting a 7 year old a 6 year old and a 12 year old boys?
There are a few things left out that could be factors in answering your question. Your age would be good to know. If you are older or around the same ages. How long you will babysit and the time of day. The 6 and 7 year old are close in age and you can enlist the help of the 12 year old with them. They have an attention span of about 10-15 minutes before they will want to do something else. If this is an all day job I would start the day with a snack, next have out door play time, and then have lunch, after lunch a nap time, and then do a quiet activity in the house. Set your rules and enforce them when they start to get out of control. They will try to push you to see what they can get away with, and they will do begging or deal making. Stick to your guns to what you say.
Can a 11 year old babysit his 8 year old sister all night?
Well it all depends how responsible and mature you are if you feel you are mature enough for it go ahead to to you parents and see what happens.
No, that would not be appropriate. Most authorities believe that a 12 or 13 year old can be safely left at home for a few hours during the day, but not at night. Overnight is likely to be considered abandonment, but it will depend on the intelligence of the children.
How much should you charge to babysit?
Depends on your age. For one or two kids, if you are...
11-12 year old, 2 to 4 dollars an hour.
13-15 year old, 3 to 5 dollars an hour.
16-18 year old, 5 to 8 dollars an hour.
This is just what I would pay. Others might not be as generous.
Can a 13 year old girl babysit a 6 year old and 13 year old?
No. That situation would be far too difficult for any 13 year old. That task would even be difficult for one adult, I'd say. NO. An adult who is one of the parents of the six other children couldn't do this alone. If this is something you are trying to do to earn money, you'll still need help. At the most, one or two children could be managed by a teenager in this age group, but certainly not six. Anything and everything could happen. They could burn the house down. Maybe if the parents of these six children stayed home and took care of them, they wouldn't be out making more babies. If you are one of the parents of these 'six children', don't put all of that responsibility on a 13 year old.
Is it legal for a 16-year-old and 19-year-old to have sexual relations in North Carolina?
There are no laws against them dating as long as both sets of parents are okay with it (the parents of a minor--anyone under 18--have the right to decide who their child is and isn't allowed to associate with). Any sexual contact between the two (it's not limited merely to intercourse) is very illegal.

How can you teach a kid to tie her shoelace?
First, you grab one shoelace, and you cross it over the other, then, you take the other shoe lace and twist it 150 times. Next, you wrap the other shoelace around the twisted one until it becomes one. Next, you tie the bottom to the top, making one big loop. Then you have the coolest shoetie ever. Goodluck.
1. Hold up both strings. Then cross your hands over exchanging the strings in the other hand while passing them over.
2. Let the strings drop. Pick the coordinating strings back up with coordinating hands. Strings should look like a X. Pick the strings back up and let the right hand drop the string. Pick the string back up with the right hand, while picking the string up this time, pull it through the hole the two string now are making toward your chest.
3. Pull the two strings together tight in a downward position Make a bunny ear with each string(bending the string). With each bunny ear made, lay one over the other, letting the right hand drop the folded string again, then, pull it back toward your chest this last time. While pulling through the hole again, pull the bunny ears in the opposite direction very tight.
How long can a 12yr old girl hold her breath?
There's two ways to find this information out. First way is to ask a 12 year old girl to hold her breath and see how long she can hold it for. The other method is to kidnap a 12 year old girl, then tell her to hold her breath. I don't recommend the second one but if you really have to, don't... Really... Don't do it.
What is the legal age for babysitting in Minnesota?
It is acceptable for children ages 11 to 14 to baby-sit, with the expectation that the parent, guardian, or caretaker will be returning to supervise the children later that same day. It is acceptable for teens aged 15 and older to baby-sit younger children for more than 24 hours. Certification of teen babysitters is not mandatory under the Minnesota babysitting laws, but many responsible teens chose to take a babysitting class such as those taught by the American Red Cross. A good babysitter should be trained to handle emergencies including choking. They should be skilled in first aid and CPR. (laborlawtalk.com)
What is the difference between daycare and babysitting?
DAYCARE is when an adult/adults run a business at their house or at a separate building. The children get dropped off there. There are many more children and they aren't related to each other unless the parent drops off siblings.
BABYSITTING is when a teenager/adult is asked to come over to the family's house. They watch the kids directly from their home, and there are usually no other children other than the familiy. The parents eventually come home, the babysitter gets paid, and he/she leaves.
