This is my first year going to a public school. it is really hard cause it is my 9th grade year so all the girls there arleady know each other and they are sorta snobby. there are a few girls there that are really nice and i hace talked to, but i am really shy and we'll be talking and we don't really know each other so we just end up with realy akward silences. oh yeah and how do you tell someone you don't want to go out with them without hurting them. telling them you dont know them well enough doesn't work cause they just want to get to know you better. HELP!!!! (link)

Just go in opened minded of course you will run in to some people that are not so nice.But most people are nice and are happy to make a new friend.Be yourself and by the second week of school you should feel like you have been there forever!

My best friend and I are thinking of starting a babysitting business, since we're both certified in CPR and First Aid, and have taken a bunch of babysitting courses, too.
We were wondering how we could go about this.
Like what should we charge, should we baby-sit together, or on our own, how should we advertise, .etc.
Thank You :)

Babysitting charges vary depending on where you live.However i think that an average pay is around 5$ an hour.I think that if there are 2 people babysitting though that you should make it an even number so around 6$.When i babysit i usually don't set a priceand i let the parents decide what i deserve!Also some babysitting jobs may be easier so you could get payed less!
In order to Advertise just make a little sign on your computer or by hand that has:
-Babysitting (somewhere in big font,be creative)
-name
-phone #
-several pictures
-any courses or workshops you have taken!
I wouldn't post it on the side of the road instead just give some to people you know or know have kids!(eg. at a siblings soccer game)
As for working together or apart it all depends on what you and your friend want to do!
Hope i helped

okay well i'm 14/f and i babysit for my neighbors who have two girls who are 4 & 2. now thats its summer and i don't have school, i've been babysitting A LOT. it feels like they are overworking me! i'm always so stressed out when i have to go there. the girls can not share togother and then it ends up with the youngest girl crying. and when she crys she SCREAMS! i can't stand it. i'm always babysitting for hours and they are always late when they come home. they also aren't very considerate about me missing meals. like they will have me work from 4-7 and that is like right in the middle of when i would eat dinner, and all they have at their house is junk food. like over the weekend i was babysitting from 9:30 - 3:30. also i'm always worrying that the dad will get mad at me if one of the kids falls asleep. i mean they pay me good ( 8 dollars and hour ), and the kids love me, but i always stress out about going over there.
i don't want to stop babysitting for them, because that would also leave them without a babysitter. but i need ways to help me not stress out as much about babysitting. like this week they only told me that they will need me to babysit thursday from 5-6, but then today i saw the mom and she said that their oldest daughter who is 16 will be going on vacation this whole week and that they will need me to babysit tuesday, thursday, and friday from 9-1! omg and i'm already stressing out about it! HELP!! (link)

Ya well this seems to be causing you alot of stress and it shouldn't... For the meal problem either bring like a PB&J sandwich or something micorwaveable to eat while you are there OR don't accept jobs that overlap on your meal time.....As for the parents getting home late in the night set like a special time/curfew that you "say" you have to be home at...also say that you don't babysit on a specific day example:thursday But if this job is really getting you stressed tell the family that you feel that you need some time to relax and you will only work a maximum of like 2 or 3 days a week....Also if you are really getting stressed out just say no thanks when they call to offer a job...They can find a new babysitter through the paper or you could refer a friend.......................AS for the kids set up like movies for them to watch and puzzles that they can do by thereselves.........AND DONT WORRY about them falling asleep it is nature that they do

Does anyone have any babysitting tips or websites?
Thanx,

Hi... I babysit.And Tips can vary for each age group.......Basically though my tips are.....
-don't pretend to be interested in something because you will regret it later.
-never list to "but mommy lets me do it" even if it is true if you do not know for a fact that it is okay dont let them do it
-bring a small bag or backpack filled with small crafts toys,movies or books
