Don't Sit On the Baby, 2nd Edition
The Ultimate Guide to Sane, Skilled, and Safe Babysitting
It’s the job of the babysitter to keep the disasters at bay and the kids at play—and fed, and on time for their after school activities, and in bed by a reasonable hour, and and and . . .
Let’s face it: babysitting is a tough job. But with the right tips and tools, it can also be a blast!
In this fresh and clear-sighted guide, Halley Bondy uses her real-world experience as a former babysitter to help make one of the most popular part-time jobs for teens into something low-stress and fun. The book provides everything you need to know for pain-free babysitting, including:
- A babysitting style quiz
- Kid-friendly recipes
- Tips for finding (and keeping) the perfect gig
- Strategies for negotiating with parents
- Real-life stories from teens about their experiences on the job
- And much more!
This newly revised and updated version of Don’t Sit on the Baby offers advice, sympathy, and insider info for everything that a teen babysitter can reasonably expect to experience on the job—from emergencies to dirty diapers—along with strategies for managing all of the totally unreasonable things that are sure to happen too. So as long as you don’t sit on the baby, you can handle anything babysitting throws at you!
