Do you want to have a great babysitting repuation around town? If you want repeat babysitting clients, here are some tips that could help...
Give the parents a report when they get home, make sure the parents know if the child didn't finish their dinner, or if they were good listeners. Let them know anything that stands out in your mind, good or bad things.
Always remember to be honest, if something broke in the house while they were out, let them know. Don't let them find out later because then they most likely won't want you back again to babysit.
Don't complain to the parents, let them know if something is bothering you but never complain about what kind of food they have in the house or if they don't have cable tv, things like that.
Remember to clean up after you do something. Being a babysitter doesn't mean you are a maid, but keep the houe tidy and make sure it is left the way it was when you got there.
At the end of the night, let the parents know you enjoyed watching their children and would love to come back again and babysit.
Just a few tips to keep in mind, good luck!
