Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!

This book is great... I got it when I was nine, and I loved it. Now, I am becoming a certified babysitter, and this really prepped me for what to do in an emergency, meal prep, games to play, bath/bedtime, babies, toddlers, bigger kids, it was an excellent reference to look back to when you don't know what to do with something. If something goes wrong, you call 9-1-1, but what do you do with the other children? What about bathing? What happens if the baby won't stop crying? What happens with fights? Is it rude to dicipline other people's children, even when you are watching them?

One of the greatest Babysitting Books Around

I got this book when I was 10 years old. I always wanted to babysit, but I was too young. This book got me prepared for babysitting. It tought me what to do and what not to do, while babysitting. It also gave me suggestions on things to do with children of all ages. This is a great book! If you want to or already do babysit, this is one of the greatest books you can get!

Very Imformational adn Helpful

I thought this book was good. It has very, very helpful tips on advertisment, getting started, meal tips, and so on. I liked the part with questions answered and a place to write about jobs and other info. I wish they print more things to do with kids at different ages. I mean you can't play games all the time. But the part with what to do in emergencies was GREAT!
