Let’s be real for a moment. You need a job, and you’re going to say whatever it takes to make yourself sound like the next Mary Poppins, even if you secretly think kids are sticky little tornadoes. I get it. But as a parent, I want to know the real you. I don’t want to mistakenly hire someone who looks like they’ve just wandered off the set of a 90s stoner comedy.
So, here’s the deal: let’s skip the fluff and get straight to what I really don’t want to hear on your babysitting profile:
I love to bake.
Great! But when I peek into my kitchen after eight weeks of you watching my kids, I expect more than just petrified Play-Doh on the windowsill.
I’m into crafts.
If sticking stickers on my kids’ faces and in the baby’s hair is your idea of crafting, we need to rethink your definition.
Outdoor adventures are my thing.
Unless your idea of adventure is navigating a backyard with a sad old sandbox and a swing set that’s seen better days, I’m not convinced.
I’ll prepare healthy meals for your child.
Let’s be honest here—you’re going to make do with what’s in my kitchen, which is likely a mountain of leftover pizza and questionable takeout.
I adore kids.
Of course you do—especially when it’s only for a few hours a day.
I’ve got years of experience.
Interesting, but if you’re 14, that “experience” might just be watching your younger siblings.
Children are the future!
Sure, but they also come with a hefty price tag—like $15 to $20 an hour.
I’m passionate about caring for kids.
I’m passionate about dessert, but that doesn’t mean I’m any good at baking.
I grew up around kids.
Who hasn’t? Just because you’ve seen a space shuttle doesn’t mean you’re ready to pilot one.
I enjoy the joy kids bring!
Because nothing screams joy like a full-blown tantrum while dodging a flying plastic horse.
So, let’s skip the eye-rolling clichés and admit you just need a paycheck. If you really want to impress me, tell me you’re a survival skills expert. Then I’ll know that when the lights go out and the pets are on the loose, you’ll keep calm and carry on—even in the chaos of loud and sticky kids.
