Q: Well this is my first time babysitting by myself w/ younger kids. I have done a little 6 year old with my friend, but now i have a 2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. Im sorta nervous b/c i just saw when a stranger calls! lol. So my question is: is there anything i need to know before i go? How much to charge, emergencies, cautions, questions to ask the parents? ill rate! thanks so much!
Okay this is everything you need to know.

I would recommend charging from 5-10 an hour. When you get there you need to ask the parents about the kid's bedtime, allergies, what food they should eat, if they can watch TV, go on the computer and things that they are not allowed to do. Make sure you don't let them near the bathroom, fireplace, and kitchen by themself. If anyone calls don't pick up the phone or answer the door. MAke sure you have the parents number and the numbers of grandparents, neighbors, police, firemen, EMT"S and Poison Control. GOod luck! ♥

Q: can someone help me get ideas to get more money for babysitting...thanks
I am a certified abbysitter and you get more clinets if you are certified so do that. Also getting a CPR liscene is not a bad idea. Also try to get your parents to talk to thier friends to get you jobs. If you get I job make sure that the kids like you alot so then maybe they will tell thier parents how good you are and you will get a bonus ;-)
