Persuasive Essay On Babysitting

463 Words2 Pages

Babysitting brings out different emotions in everyone, but is a great learning experience for all teens. Before this year (my sophomore year in high school), I wasn’t very fond of kids. Over the summer however, I worked at my local swimming pool as a lifeguard and found that I actually love kids! Thankfully my job guarding opened up doors to babysitting! At first I was rather intimidated by the idea of watching someone else's kids, but eventually I came around. Here are some tips and tricks I have learned to babysitting! Prepare! Treat babysitting like you would school. By this I mean have a craft, game, or activity ready to go. Usually I like to bring crafts because it excites the kids and gives them something to do. The kids love when you focus the craft around the time of year. For instance, if I were to babysit in February, I would bring a Valentine’s …show more content…

Before the parents leave, make a list of questions including: allergies, emergency numbers, bedtimes, etcetera. This shows you will be attentive to the children and allows the parents to put trust in your hands. Put your phone away!

It could be something as simple as, “Sally had trouble falling asleep,” but they love to know what went on. Again, this shows you were attentive to their children while they were out. Be kind to the kids, but make sure they know who’s boss! As much as you want to be the fun babysitter there are definitely boundaries. Make sure the kids respect you and the boundaries you set. Never lose your patience, but be stern when

    I would adapt my communication for a child by making sure I was speaking to them at a level they will understand & also choose words suitable for their age. I would also make sure I come down to their level whether that meant sitting or kneeling so that we are at the same level. Physically we are on an equal level and not towering over them which wont make a great start for effective or positive communication and could make the child feel uneasy. Young children tend to be more tactile and may need to express them selves with touch especially if they come to you upset about something. They may simply wish to hold your hand when they talk to you which can be reassuring both physically and also make them feel they have you attention and will listen

As a result of this tremendous volunteer service, I have learned that I am a role model to many children.

    On the other hand, you have nannies and at-home child care providers. These people generally already know the parent or parents of the child and have a significant relationship. Although some are not licensed by the state as official child care providers, they can be more trustworthy than the child care center because of the existing relationship.
