Babysitting
13/f
This'll take a while, so you might wanna grab a cup of tea or something.
I moved to a new house about two years ago, and I had a lot of babysitting experience where I used to live. When I came to my new home, I joined a church and met TONS (60, tons) of little kids there. One of my new friends here is really experienced in babysitting also, so we decided to create a babysitting club. There are two things that I need advice on.
First, I am kind of nervous because all of the kids that I have babysat for in the past, I had known well before. Two jobs in specific, I'll give as examples, I babysat for two boys, a 1-year old and a four-year old, until they were 2 and 6. The older one loved me and the younger one was so good you never had to worry about much. The other example was I babysat for two girls in my old neighborhood, one five the other 7, until they were 6 and 8. They both idolized me and would do whatever I wanted, so I never had many problems with that. (I'm not trying to brag or sound snotty, I'm just saying that those kids knew me, so it was easier) I am going to put up fliers in the church and in my dance studio, but I know only some of the kids in both places. I know two boys, 6 and 8, at the church, pretty well, and they like me a lot, but my older brother babysits for them. (Damn it! L0L) So basically, the kids that I'll be babysitting I won't know like I'm used too. (Or I won't know them A LOT!) So my first question is, how should I deal with the new situation?
Second, are there any ideas for a system for a babysitting club that my friend and I could do? Right now I'm Secretary and she's Treasurer, but we don't have much past that.
And also, what are other places that I could put up fliers other than my church and dance studio?
I know it's long, and I'm sorry.

First of all, you dont have to apologize for a long ? thats what this site is for hun! Life is all about taking chance and challeges. If life was easy and you could always get and do what your comfortable with, then life would just be plain boring!!! You are 13 and there are going to be much scarier expierences out there that you babysitting dilemma so start preparing yourself for this now. When my friend and I started up a babysitting club when we were younger. We put up signs at the local grocery store, shopping stores, an popular places that may have a place you can hang something at. We just put our names, our expierences and what we were looking for when someone called, they would specify who they wanted or we would take turns.... We both just kept the money we made and saved it up. If that something you wouldnt like to do you could always do something like BABYSITTING CLUB give them a number and anytime someone called you would take turns on who goes save all the money and every week or two split it evenly... anyways I hoped I helped and REMEMBER never be afraid to take chances it will prepare you for life and only make you stronger!! good luck let me know how things go
