Can a 13 year old child with epilepsy be left home alone over night to watch younger siblings in Oregon?

There are several things to consider in this situation.

One, if the epilepsy is under control or if there is a chance that the child will have a seizure. Also, consider how mature and capable the 13 year old is and if they have been babysitting their siblings at other times.

Also, the age of the siblings and if they know what to do in case the 13 year old has a seizure.

Another thing to consider is how close the parents will be or if there is a trusted adult who will be near by in case of emergency.

Should you bath the kids you babysit for?

Bathing should always be discussed with the parents first. If possible, you may even want them to add 'bathing rules' into a written contract. Technically, they could try to sue for sexual harassment if they so desired. It's always good to establish firm rules at the beginning.

How much do home care providers make?

I make $175 a week for a full time child in Colorado. However not all children are full time and that's before expenses, like meals, snacks, diapers, wet wipes, crayons, markers, glue, paints, paper, construction paper, batteries, toys, bottle liners, nipples, cleaners, paper towels, t.p., printer ink (I print out daily reports, monthly newsletters as well as pages for coloring and activities), advertizing costs (these are more than you think), addition costs for laundry soap, dish soaps, dish washer detergent, bleach, disinfectants, additional costs for water, gas, electricity, more light bulbs, addition wear and tear on carpeting, furniture, dish washer, washing machine, drier, vaccum, printers etc. As a home provider I can make $20.00/hour BEFORE expenses IF all placements are filled all 5 days... If I have only 2 kids on a day and work my regular 10.5 hours per day I only make $6.67/hour before expenses.

Does an 11 year old need daycare?

Probably not, but it all depends on the maturity of the child and the circumstances in which he or she would be left alone. Would you allow this child to babysit? If so, then daycare isn't necessary.

What Oklahoma babysitting laws are there?

Safety is important in any situation, but doubly so for babysitters. According to the U.S. government, over 1.2 million teens baby sit every year.

According to the Enid, Oklahoma fire department, fire safety is a big part of a babysitters job.

Although certification is not required under the Oklahoma babysitting laws, many teens chose to take a babysitter training class offered by the American Red Cross.

The class covers what to do in emergencies, as well as how to amuse children and change diapers.

There is no law in Oklahoma on the age for babysitters. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, babysitting is one of the few jobs that teens under the age of 14 may legally accept. The Red Cross course is aimed at youngsters ages 11 to 15. Many experts recommend that babysitters be at least 12 or 13 years old. In general, the rule is that the younger the child is, the older the babysitter should be.

According to the Enid Fire Department, prevention is the best cure for fires.

Babysitters can guard against a fire emergency by taking a few simple precautions:

When the children are in bed, close their bedroom doors. In the event of fire, this can slow smoke from spreading and may give you and the children extra time to escape. Remember: Closing bedroom doors means you'll have to listen more carefully for the children.

Move matches, lighters, or any other smoking materials out of the reach of small children.

Keep space heaters at least three feet (36 inches) away from things that burn such as furniture and paper. And keep children away from space heaters.

Cook only with permission from the children's parents. Set a timer to remind you to turn everything off.

Whenever you cook, turn pot handles so they don't stick out over the edge of the stove. This helps prevent dangerous spills of hot food and liquid.

Never put anything into a microwave oven unless you are absolutely sure it is safe. Paper, glass and microwave-proof earthenware are safe. Never put metals, including aluminum foil, in a microwave.

What is the average price a teen babysitter charges in 2011?

It always depends.

If you get a teen, chances are they just want some extra cash. 5$ an hour is usually great!

With someone older, who is babysitting as a favour, mabye a little more then 5$ maybe 6.50, because they are giving up their time to help you out.

As a teen and a babysitter, 5 dollars an hour is great, anything under is a little low, but anything over is extremely generous! You work too hard for your money to throw it away!

How much should an eleven year old babysitter charge?

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 $4.50 an hour you should start lower, at about $3.25, 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.

those prices are good but just because she is younger doesnt mean she has no exsperince. and some people would trust an 11 year old better because teens may be on there phones talking to there bf/gf and saying shhh to the kids they are taking care of. when it is more likely that a 11 year old is letting them have a good time. i hope you have funn babysitting i no i do.

Is it normal for children to begin crying after being dropped off at school after three months without crying at all when they are dropped off?

Children cry when they are distressed. They become distressed when they are frustrated in achieving what they need or want. Your children are distressed and most children are at some stage. This can happen if they are refused a treat that they would normally be able to have, or more seriously when they feel frightened and insecure.

The difficult job of a parent is to be able to ensure that a child meets and deals with necessary frustrations as part of his development, but also that he is protected from unnecessary stress, such as bullying abuse and neglect.

Difficulties at home can cause anxiety and insecurity, making separation from a parent more distressing. Also one child's distress and your attentive response may make the behaviour appear a useful attention gaining strategy for the other. Or the second child may be distressed at his brother's and I am sure, your own distress.

If you are concerned about what is happening in the Nursery School environment, insist that your concerns are addressed. A good nursery should be able to tell you more about your children's behaviour,likes and dislikes and how they get along with others.

Each child is an individual and responds differently. Teach them to express difficult feelings as well as good ones and reassure them that you accept them no matter what.

Set boundaries on behaviours by all means but expressions of distress are beyond a nursery school child's abilities

AnswerIf child begins to cry after a period of no crying it is normal. This is called reapproachment, also known as separation anxiety. The child has realized that he/she is alone and is his/her own person. This causes them to want to reconnect with their caregiver because they are afraid. All they need is refueling. This concept is Margarette Mahlers, so if you have any more questions about it, research her some more. AnswerMy two year old had been going to the same babysitter since she was born. For some reason, when she turned two she would cry every time I dropped her off. I thought the same thing - that this is normal and every kid does this. After two weeks of this my mothery instinct I guess you can call it said something was wrong. She knew the way to the sitters house and would start crying 1/2 mile before we would get there. I asked her all the normal questions like "do you get in trouble", "are the other kids bothering you", "do you like the babysitter"? To everything she said no. I pulled her out of that sitters and put her in a daycare. She cried twice and then never again. I do believe it is normal for children to cry and have separation anxiety but just remember you're the mom, you know your child the best and if instinct tells you something is wrong, switch daycares. AnswerIf a child started behaving as mentioned, I would feel that I wasn't being a good parent if I didn't investigate the possibiliy that the child was facing some form of abuse, even if only from another child. Experience has proven the accuracy of my theory. Assume nothing, and find out the facts. You owe it to your child. AnswerIt is normal if there has been a change in the house, whether big or small. The child is probably just expressing his need for his parents, which all kids do. Make sure you emphasize how much fun school is! Also, make sure you go in and speak to the teacher and see how your child interacts with other kids. If he/she doesn't make friends easily, maybe try to organize a playdate with a kid in the class on a weekend. This may ease the anxiety and make your child feel like he has an ally at school. Good luck. AnswerIf the child has been tear free for 3 months and happy, I would first suspect that something or someone at school is worrying him/her and making them unhappy. Talk to the child gently to try and find out why exactly he/she is upset now. If necessary ask the teachers if they can identify any possible causes. AnswerI remember being in first grade - I cried almost the whole day of school. My teacher would hold me in her lap and just rest me there....but i really don't know why i cried every single day. and then my mom used to walk me and my brother to school everyday and then one day she wanted us to walk by ourselves and i cried and ran home i didnt want to walk without my mom to school...i think i had or do have separation anxiety but it was just weird. AnswerI would consider what the situations are both at school and at home...is anything happening that could create anxiety for your child? And remember, children are very intuitive and react emotionally to things that we as adults may not take much notice of. You don't mention how old your children are, but talking with them usually helps.

Why do other moms like seeing other moms sons naked?

  • If the sons are babies then it is cute to see a baby run around naked and there is nothing wrong with this. However, it is extremely uncommon for moms to have other moms see their sons naked if they are over five years old. Sometimes some children detest wearing clothes; may rip them off and go running through the house or backyard and it may make the moms have a good laugh at how cute they look.

Nudity os a family thing and it varies a lot sometimes. It is highly inappropriate for parents or moms for that matter to allow their children to run around nude in front of others not family, whether it is a boy or a girl. If a mother insists her sons be nude in the home , outside the home,or with others not family it is considered child abuse, pure and simple. There is nothing cute or funny about it. It is also very disconcerting for older children in the home who are modest. There are a few moms who need parenting teaching or should not be allowed to have children I am sorry to say.
