| Babysitting Safety Tips |
| |
| Getting the Job |
- Know your employer. Babysit only for people you or your parents know, or those for whom you have a personal reference. Answering newspaper ads may not be safe.
- Before accepting the job, get specific instructions about the number and ages of children, bed times, foods, medications, and other information about personal habits and what is expected of you.
- Get directions to the job location.
- Be sure to find out from your employers what time they expect to be back. Be sure they know how much you charge and when you must be home.
- Learning First-Aid procedures before you take on babysitting jobs will help prepare you for emergencies and may save a life.

| Preparing for the Job |
- Leave the name, address, and phone number of where you will be babysitting with your parents, and tell them what time your employers expect to be home.
- When you accept a job, arrive early to confirm all of this information and to get any additional instructions.
- Make sure you have transportation both to and from the job.
