Wanted: Teen Babysitters!

From Robin McClure, About.com GuideMay 29, 2008

Now that the school year is coming to an end, teenagers are eagerly seeking jobs and parents of youngsters are looking for occasional babysitters. What a perfect arrangement! Babysitting can offer decent pay and flexibility for teens, and the opportunity for parents to enjoy an occasional night on the town or even quiet time to get needed chores done at home while the kids are at the park. If you haven't made a connection yet, summer is a great time to locate a qualified and willing teenage babysitter.

To help make the process easier, check out these helpful tips for finding a qualified babysitter you and your kids both like and trust:

    hello,

    My name is janesha. Im 14 going on 15 in about a month. I live in wichita, kanasa. I am very responsible & very mature. Im matured on the outside & on the inside. Im very nice & very appreciative for everything i have. Im really looking for some extra cash because i want to pay for things on my own & stop bugging my mom for money all the time. My mom has owned a daycare for many years, so i have experience with children. I came into this world in my moms daycare & around kids. & now im growing up watching kids. I love them. I’ve watched up to 10 kids all at once. I help my mom in her daycare everyday. Im very patient & loving. Not only does my mom own a daycare, but her & my dad are like the rocks in our family. As long as i can remember our family has always been helping other people. Whenever theres a problem or difficulties my parents are always there. So it rubbed off on me. All my friends look as me as the ‘mom’. Im always tring to do whats right & im always helping people. So i really hope someone reads this & offers me a job. Thats about it =)
