Right now I do not own a car, but the bus is just as capable of getting me around right now until I purchase a new one. If you live close by I can even walk (and I love to.) I'm 4'10", so I'm not very intimidating, children and kids are usually not as shy around me. To be a good babysitter (or even in home health care and other fields) is to be a good friend. Make it fun and engaging and a kid will do those dishes or clean their room. Most of the time the thing that keeps kids from learning manners and good behavior is that the parents don't have enough time to spend with their child. However, it's not the parents fault. In the end you have to make money to live right? That's why choosing the right babysitter is crucial to parents who don't Read more have time. Even older children (14-17) still need someone around to guide them into adulthood, they might not need a babysitter, but having someone to listen to them and comfort them, and praise them when they do well at something is usually what a teenager needs when in high school to feel accomplished. I go to MWCC, study psychology. I have a little brother who I was there for when my parents were not. I worked at the Great Wolf Lodge, a heavily children inspired water park and resort. A place where you make children smile everyday and cheer them up when they cry. I taught kids how cool it was to learn math, science, and about other cultures, and most importantly how good it is to be neat.
