Babysitting is many teenagers' first job. Many adults also end up having to babysit for their relatives or even friends. We know not everyone is tailored for babysitting, but most of us have already done it at least once in our lives.
Babysitting is the practice of temporarily caring for a child on behalf of the child's parents. Babysitting is commonly performed as an odd job by teenagers for extra money.
Work in pairs and decide if you think the following statements are babysitting do's or don'ts. Justify your answers.
1. Clean up so that the home or hotel room looks as good as it did when you arrived.
2. Chat with friends if you're allowed to use the phone.
3. Cover up any tattoos as much as possible. Tattoos can make you look scary to children and parents alike.
4. Eat all the clients' food if they give you permission to do so.
5. Answer the parent’s telephone. Take a complete message and speak in a friendly, helpful tone of voice.

6. Ask the parents to come home if a pet or child is sick or otherwise difficult to handle.
7. Let parents know if a child was misbehaving and if the child received a time out or another privilege was revoked. Time out and revoking of privileges are the only disciplinary tools that you have as a babysitter.
8. Transport children in your own car.
9. Keep bathroom and bedroom doors open at all times and especially when bathing, changing, dressing or helping potty training children. This helps to eliminate any misunderstandings or possible false accusations.
10. Spend money on the children, although the parents did not ask you to do it; i.e. to order a pizza or to buy ice cream.
