My Baby Sitter Is Coming To Town!
My Baby Sitter...
I like my baby sitter. She gives me milk and food on time. She gives me a good bath on time. She cuddles me and talk to me. She also kisses me every time I give her the sad face. Sometimes I like her more than dad because she smells good all the time. Dad smells like a big grown-up man.
A good baby sitter should have the following character:
1. Have good health: Your overall health is important. If you have a cold or other contagious disease, do not accept a babysitting job.
2. Be dependable and responsible: Dependability is a must. You are responsible for the child's health and safety.
3. Love little children: The best babysitters usually understand and love children. Children tend to know whether you like them or not.
4. Be self-confident: Children judge you as much by the way you look and act as by the words you say. Be sure of yourself.
5. Be mature: You need to be levelheaded and act calmly in an emergency. You have to maintain authority and discipline.
6. Show good manners: Be pleasant, and act in a courteous manner. This includes respect for the privacy of families by not going through closets and personal possessions.
7. Be knowledgeable about children: You need a basic understanding of the stages of child development. You must also know the basic techniques of feeding, dressing, diapering, bathing and playing with younger and older children.
8. Have a business-like attitude: Make sure you agree on the business aspects of the job before babysitting with a new family for the first time. Get the necessary information from the parents before they leave.
9. Be adaptable: Accept the differences between households. It's your responsibility to fit in with the family's usual pattern or routines — not the other way around. If you feel uncomfortable with the family's lifestyle, you may need to refuse to accept the opportunity to work for them.
10. Be safety conscious: Protect the children from harm. Be alert at all times.
11. You will be in demand: Great babysitters are known by many parents. Usually they are busy with repeated jobs for the same families.
