Ok well now that it didnt work....well you may be old enough to legally work in your state. Look into that, ours is 14, and your state may be something close to that :)

If you want to do this, talk to your dad first. Get his go ahead than walk over to your neighbors and introduce yourself...gradually turn the subject to babysitting and then ask if they need one.

I definetly think that you should meet the new neighbors first. Give them a good first impression of you. Let them know that's your responsible. 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!

Call your dad and check with him. If he says it's ok go. You don't want to put yourself in harms way. BE SAFE!!

First of all, you need to meet the neighbors and ask if it would be an inconvenience for them if they were to allow you to babysit their child. 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 .

If you are going to be babysitting, your dad needs to know. Talk to him about what you would like to do. 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.

ok well im 13 and just started babysitting at first my mom wasnt crazy about the idea so i told her that it would help me have better social skill and maybe even help get better at babysitting for the furture plus it would give me something to do and stay out of trouble not to mention that this would give me a way to make some money and i wouldnt ask her for it as much

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 wouldn't do it without youR fatheR's peRmission. 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
