The Teenager's Guide to Successful Babysitting. [Videotape].
American Production Services, Charlotte, NC.
Noting that babysitting is a serious responsibility, this videotape provides information, guidelines, and practical advice to train and prepare teenagers for the job of babysitting. Though not intended to replace the advice of a professional babysitting course or first aid course instructor, or parent/guardian who can better guide teens on specific situations that might occur while sitting, the 30-minute videotape presents advice on being a responsible, dependable, prepared, creative, and fun sitter. The videotape covers making a good impression on parents; how to find families to babysit for; setting fees; safety concerns, such as first aid, discipline, and working with a special needs child; topics to cover in a pre-arrival interview; things to bring for the children; and tips for caring for children at different age levels. Also covered are elements of professional behavior, and how to develop a babysitter's resume and a family information form. (HTH)
