That way, they will be comfortable with you babysitting there child since they know about you. Besides...who would want a stranger taking care of their child while they were gone? Also, when you have established a comfortable relashionship with that family, you can then ask your dad. Let the neighbors give him the ok, and let him know that you have things under control and you can handle this task because you're responsible-you know, ket them put in a good word for you. If they agree to this, why wouldn't your father. You and your father could even work out a schedule or plan so that you can be able to get home at the apprpriate time. I hope I helped and that this works out for you! [ partygurl24's advice column | Ask partygurl24 A Question ]

If their alright with it, then you could use their permission to persuade your father. But it all really comes down to him. Just try it out and see where you get from there, but you better have a good defense . [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]

If he agrees then you may introduce yourself to the new neighbors and offer your services. The neighbors will not want to entrust their child to a liar.

just try talking to your dad about it going behind his back would make you untrust worthy and that might prevent you from babysitting later so good luck
love

I undeRstand you could use the money, but think of it THIS way: what if something teRRible goes wRong and the baby gets huRt??? YouR Dad will *THEN* FIND OUT!!!! Next thing you know, you'd be in big tRouble with youR paRents. Not to mention the fact that the family could take legal action [if they so choose], and you would ALLLLLL be in tRouble. I suggest thinking of the baby fiRst. You neveR know though... maybe youR Dad will suRpRisingly be in agReement??? You neveR know until you ask!!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
