Q: What career opportunities do I have as a babysitter?

A babysitter is a child care provider who doesn’t have a regular work schedule with a family. There is a wide range of possibilities in the specifics of a babysitter position and career.

You could provide care through before-school or after-school activities or for nights or weekends when the family needs care.

Depending on the job responsibilities and schedules negotiated with the family, babysitters could work at any time. This includes in the morning, afternoon, evening, or at night. And on weekdays or on the weekend.

Q: How can babysitters make extra money?

There are a few ways that babysitters can make some extra income. They can create relationships with more families to increase their opportunities to get hired for a sitting. Babysitters can also offer to care for kids on holidays so that the parents can celebrate on their own. Like on Valentine’s day.
