Would I be a good babysitter?
I'm 11 yrs old and I love kids. I have taken care of my lil sister who is 9 and took care of my 3 yr old cousin. I'm pretty mature and an honor roll student. I already have a trillion ideas to entertain kids with?
Do you think I'm good babysitting material?

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
I will tell you up from you are not going to like my answer, but it is the truth.
First most states have laws concerning age requirements for a baby sitter. The state I live in requires a sitter to be at least 13 years of age as do the states that surround mine.
Second: To be CPR certified you must take a CPR certification course. The American Red Cross offers this course which requires students to be reading at an eight grade level in order to comprehend the material and pass. I would say that would mean you would have to be at least 12 or 13 before you are old enough to take the course.
Something to consider while you are waiting: The American Red Cross also offers a course in baby sitting which would include CPR which has the same requirements. When completed you would have a certificate of completion in baby siting from the Red Cross.
I'm sorry I could not give the answer you are looking for. I'm sure when you are a year or two older and have the certifications parents are looking for you will make a great baby sister. Until then enjoy being 11 and 12. We only get one childhood, don't wast it being in a hurry to grow up. You'll be a grown up before you know it and wonder where your childhood went.

Well it depends on the parent... you sound like a very "together" young girl who is responsible... but with my kids I would need you to be a little older and be cpr certified but that doesnt mean it wouldnt be this way for other parents good luck

Yes you do!!! Anyone can see that. our grades show responsibility. As for taking care of kids.that shows experience. What i suggest you do is take classes like CPR. This way people can trust you with their kids if you have it in your resume.
