Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5 Up. This informative guide includes chapters on getting started, tips and techniques, dos and don'ts, activities, easy recipes, and a final chapter on other money-making activities. Excellent organization, a reassuring text, and lively cartoons make this a good choice for novice sitters. An added bonus are the anecdotes from experienced child-care providers.?Ann M.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally awesome and really helpful., July 7, 2001
A Kid's Review
This book was extremely useful to me. I am a new babysitter,and this taught me a lot of things I never knew. Of course, some of the things in this book were kind of common sense, but there were a lot of things I didn't know, and that was very helpful. It has fun things like games to play and fun recipes to make. It helps to try decide how much to charge, too, and ways of advertising. I highly recommend this book to beginning babysitters. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful guide to a budding babysitter, February 7, 2001
By Elizabeth Elliott "sportygurlfrog" (Pawleys Island, South Carolina) - See all my reviews
I am becoming a babysitter, and this guide answered all of my many questions. It has everythin from finding clients safely to cooking an easy meal that kids love. The first aid guide has info on almost every accident that could happen. It has about 100 letters and advice from real babysitters. I strongly reccomend this easy to read book to any to-become babysitter, it was a great hel to me :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep the age in mind, February 11, 2004
By A Customer
This is a well written babysitters guide. My problem with it is that it is written for 9-12 year olds and many states require that babysitters be 13 years old and have a babysitting class. If you aren't sure about your state's requirements (or didn't realize they existed), call your local department of Family and Children's Services and ask them the home-alone and babysitting age requirements.
