As a parent, it’s crucial to be discerning when selecting a babysitter. While I understand that many potential sitters may feel the need to embellish their profiles to appear enthusiastic about the job, it’s imperative to present an authentic image. After all, I want to know exactly who I’m bringing into my home to care for my children. Here’s a rundown of what I don’t want to hear in your babysitting profile, along with the reasons why:
- I love to bake.
If I haven’t seen any baked goods after weeks of you being here, claiming to love baking feels disingenuous. - I enjoy crafts.
Simply letting my children stick stickers on their faces or in the baby’s hair doesn’t qualify as crafting. - I love outdoor adventures.
If the only outdoor space available is a rundown swing set and an empty sandbox, I question how adventurous our time will be. - I’ll prepare healthy meals for your child.
The reality is that you’ll likely be working with whatever leftovers and processed foods are available in my kitchen. - I love kids.
Almost everyone enjoys kids when they’re only around for a few hours; it’s a different story when it’s a full day. - I have ten years of experience.
At 15 years old, it’s unlikely you actually have a decade of babysitting under your belt. - Children are the future and should be nurtured.
While this is true, it’s not a valid reason to pay someone less than a fair hourly wage for their time. - I’m passionate about caring for children.
Passion doesn’t translate to skill; I’m passionate about pizza, but that doesn’t mean I can make a great one. - I was raised around kids.
Just being around children doesn’t equate to being qualified to babysit them. - I enjoy the excitement kids bring to life.
It’s hard to appreciate the joy of a child’s tantrum when you’re dodging flying toys.
Let’s be straightforward: it’s important to acknowledge that you need a job and may not be head over heels for my kids, but your ability to ensure their safety and well-being is what truly matters. If you want to impress me, share any relevant survival skills. That way, I know you can handle unexpected situations, like power outages, or if our pets decide to take a little adventure of their own.
