my mom think im to imature to babysit what should i do?

Answer 1

Based on your poor grammar I agree with her.

Answer 2

First, act more mature. Can your mother trust you to be truthful and responsible? Really? If not, work on that aspect of the problem first!

Second, take the Red Cross Babysitting Course and pay for it out of your own allowance money.

Once my daughter took that course, I let her take babysitting jobs ONLY on our street and ONLY when I was home, so she could call me if anything came up that she didn't think she could handle. Once she had a year's experience, she was gradually allowed to go farther afield. When she was a little older she got a summer job at a daycare center, and they were very pleased with her level of experience.

Answer 3

how old are you?? not that i guess that really matters, babysitting is different for everyone... i started out "grandma-sitting" for an elderly neighbor... and then gradually moved up. ask your mom why she thinks that, and see if maybe there is a family friend with an older kid, around 8 that needs you to babysit once... just to see how it goes. i do a lot of babysitting, mostly little kids, 2-4 and it is not! easy... i have had fiascos (such as gum in hair, one girl cut herself doing dishes, i had a little girl fracture her wrist while swining...), and good days (playing dress-up, or play-doh, reading, going to the park.. that sort of stuff), and you might not be prepaired yet for the responsibility that comes along with it. if there is a local red cross, they offten offer babysitting courses, and you should become CPR certified at leas once before trying real hard to make it a usual thing. e-mail me if you have any trouble.

Answer 4

I am 12 and my mother also think i am too young to babysit because i still get in trouble myself. But she does let me sit for some kids but it is at our house so she can help me if problem happen but i have to do all the work. I just wait until older then you can babysit and you have show her you can do right thing if there is problem.

Answer 5

Babysitting is a huge responsibility. You need to fully understand what you need to do in case of emergencies and you need to know how to manage and care for younger children. The best advice I can give you is to take a babysitting course through your local community centre. If none are available, speak to your librarian about good books that outline the things you need to know about babysitting. When your mother sees that you are serious about learning and willing to prepare yourself for babysitting, you will be demonstrating your maturity to her. Good luck.

Answer 6

trust her on this.

taking care of a child is a huge responsibility and she knows this because she had to take care of you. If she thinks youre not ready, then i probably wouldn't trust to let you babysit my child either.

Try proving to her that you are responsible with younger children. Pay attention to how others babysit you or watch how others babysit a child. Take notes.

Answer 7

Well are you old enough first of all, and im sure your mom knows best. Babysitting is a tuff job.

Answer 8

Ask your mom to come with you on your babysitting jobs. This way she is there to guide you and to see that you are more mature than she thinks you are.

Answer 9

First how old are you? if you are at least 15 try to do things at home to make her know that you have become a mature young teenager. good place to start is to clean your room that always helps

Answer 10

Well are you? What do you do when you baby sit? Do you watch the boob tube, and talk on the phone with your friends? or do you actually watch the kids like your getting paid to do,feed them, play games etc.?

Answer 11

just show her that you can handle the job and maybe she will let you babysit
