Babysitting
Definition 1 of 2
Pro Tip 1/3
Short-Term Care
Babysitting is temporary care, not a permanent solution like a nanny or daycare. Can you babysit tonight? It's just for a few hours while we attend the meeting.
Pro Tip 2/3
Trust and Responsibility
Babysitting involves great trust; parents trust sitters with their children's safety. Babysitting requires attention; you can't just watch TV the whole time.
Pro Tip 3/3
Age Appropriate
Babysitters are often teenagers or young adults looking for part-time work. At 15, Emma started babysitting to earn some spending money.
