Babysitting is not so much a career choice as a starting block – but that is not to say it is not a valuable option, especially for someone interested in a future in child care.
Good experience in babysitting can open doors to child minding, day care center, nanny… even teaching if you are still studying.
Babysitting is also a good choice for someone looking for a supplementary income during university studies or to support part time career development/apprenticeships.
Years ago, parents chose a babysitter who was a friend’s older child or a responsible neighbor. These days it is a bit more complicated.
Many mums now will advertise for a babysitter and hold their own interviews and selection process, so you need to make sure you have some relevant skills and experience. Some parents may even be prepared to fund a DBS check to ensure their baby’s safety, so a clean record is essential.
Most babysitting opportunities are for part time work, taking care of a child or children while the parent is unavailable in the evenings or weekends.
You must be able to prove you are flexible and reliable, that you have some experience with taking care of a young child, that you are caring, warm and nurturing, and that you will follow the parent’s directions on routines and discipline.
Your Resume does not have to be overly professional, nor does it need to list a comprehensive work history (chances are a lot of babysitters will not have this yet) but it does need to be genuine and include relevant skills.
If you want to give yourself a head start in the babysitting circle, then some basic training courses in child care and infant first aid would be a great advantage.
