im 12, i would like to no if people would trust me babysitting im good with lil kids?

Answer 1

The Red Cross has an awesome babysitting course you can take. Parents will trust you a whole lot more when they know you've had the class, as it covers a lot of potential emergencies and how you should handle them.

Answer 2

I started babysitting when I was 12, but it is hard to prove to people that don't know you very well that you're mature and responsible enough. Some will trust you, but some will probably go with an older option if there is one.

Edit: I agree with the post above me ^. It did impress potential clients that I had completed the St. John Ambulance (same as Red Cross, but more local for me) course, and was certified.

Answer 3

You should take a babysitting course. Here the hospital gives the course but look to see if the Red Cross gives them where you live. Parents would then be more apt to let you sit with their children.

Answer 4

If they don't think you do it, argue the point. State the facts.

1. you are good with kids
2. you are at the legal baby sitting age
3. take a babysitting course, and tell everything you learned

The person you are babysitting for will know you are ready.

Answer 5

If you have siblings younger than yourself that you often watch for your parents, are already the main cook in your family, & you had CPR in school PE/Health class, you would be a fine babysitter for fixing supper, putting kids to bed, & overnight stays babysitting.

Answer 6

I would trust a 12yo with babysitting, I find that old enough.

Answer 7

Nope sorry.
