Childcare and Babysitting

If you take the amount of homeless people in the nation, then divide that by half, then that's how many children don't have homes. It's half because there has been an increase in children in the past decade.

Really there is not a specific age that you are required to reach. But there are many qualities that you should have. You should be great with kids, very trustworthy, respectful, caring, understanding, and responsible. After you get to know the kids and family well, you will feel more comfortable around the family. Before I started babysitting I took a babysitting class at a local hospital that gave me tips and helpful hints on being a great babysitter. I have also learned from the mistakes of my past babysitters. Just remember when your with the kid to have fun and enjoy playing around with them. Hope this helps!

The legal age to babysit in Canada is 12, but it can be earlier if you take specialized classes towards babysitting, where you can have the license to babysit at the age of ten at the youngest.

13 is the Legal Babysitting age for non-family members. Please see related link.

about 7.00 an hour. good luck

You should charge 8 dollars an hour or if you are more of a pricey person then 20 dollars every two hours

It depends. I charge $3 for each child.

I know sure if this is the same thing, but I took a babysitting certification class. It's not really a license and it's not required, it just helps to get you jobs! I got mine at Eastridge rec center =) I just signed up for a class and by the end of it I was a licensed babysitter through the American Red Cross! I think it was like three days of classes so not too bad. I'm sure you could even find an online class now (I did it in 2001). I learned CPR, first aid, and just basic sitting tips. Hope that helps!

Ofcourse, if you think you can handle the job. You might want to be a set of hands with some familys you know for a little bit to be more comfortable handling kids alone. It's alot more then just sitting on the couch ignoring the needs of the kids. You have to get up and play with them, keep them entertained.

Well if u were to babysit a dog for a week you might have $50.00 really it how much the owner is willing to give but doing 3 chores like dishes vacumming and dusting get me around $8.50 so it really how much the parent will give u any way just go on google it will give u like millions of answers

I KNOW NOTHING! so im bord just trying to answer all these dumb questions anyway.

in the UK OFSTED have set guidelines of adult to child ratios, these are...

for children under 2 years 1 adult for every three children

for children 2 and 3 years old 1 adult to 4 children

for children 3+ years 1 adult to 8 children

You maintain confidentiality mostly because you want to protect the children in your care. Secondly, it is simply no one else's business who is in your care, what the parents do or pay. When parents can trust you, they will stay with you longer.

the age limit is 18 18 without parental consent. 16/17 with parental consent. Under 16 requires court approval. (06/13/09) Why would you want to? It is a statistical fact that relationships involving people who co-habitat and/or get married prior to age 24 have an 85% failure rate. Biologically, this is when females reach full mature on the physical, emotional, and hormonal levels. At this point, a woman is fully prepared to have and handle children, as well as a male that is still not fully mature.

Males don't reach full physical and hormonal maturity until age 30. This is also when they reach their peak emotional maturity, but not to the point of being fully independent. Half of the male emotional health comes from a woman. The biochemical frequency range of the male brain adjusts itself to match that of the female, developing an emotional symbiotic relationship.

Couples who begin cohabiting and/or get married prior to age 24 can find themselves drawing away from each other as each reaches full maturity. Their whole view of the world, and each other, changes. This doesn't happen to all couples, but clearly it is a factor in most relationship breakdowns.

they want u to have fun around them

you should get state regulations with you license, however the # is 10. you can increase that number if you take care of after school kids, then you can have more than 10 only after school hours.

So you can earn money.

A baby sitting must be 13 , mature, trained, and responsible

1. 12
2. or older

Q: I am babysitting a 4 year old and i want to be a good imprestion to the parents. what aree some tips A: Definatly be on time, have some fun activites planned for the kids and tell the parents about it too, do the dishes and get the kids to help you clean up the toys and any mess that was made. Play with the four-year-old and make her love you! Once the parents find out that the child loves you they'll call you back and you will be a keeper.

The law in Florida does not specify an age.

The responsibile individual must be capable of handling the kids, handling an emergency, and keeping their charges under control and safe.

Most people believe the 13 or 14 is right and the two states that have laws regarding this say that is the age.

but most people will hire kids 10 and under with an adult present.

It depends, most places don't make it illegal, but just be sure! I'd say that a 12 year old could if it was legal, and just a tip: a license is great for convincing clients that you're experienced.

Hope I helped!

Yes.

Yes, an 11 year can babysit a five year old child as long as the babysitter has a phone number of five year olds parents at her finger tips.
