Answer #3

Dear, do NOT take this personally but yes I do think you are to young. Maybe in another 1 or 2 years but not now. Who let you sit with their child/ren when you were 9 years OLD!! I’m sure you are a very sweet girl, but I would never leave my 9 mth old baby with a 13 year old, sorry. I think this is poor judgement on the part of the child’s parents and your parents as well for letting you do such a thing at 9 years old. What you need to do is sign up next year when you are 14 at the YW/MCA for their babysitting course. They teach how to handle difficult situations, basics of babysitting, basic first-aid (very important to know when babysitting—u should from your own life experience that something is always happening—falling down, hitting your forehead,etc), and the very best thing infant and child CPR (extremely important!!)

After you’ve turned 14 and have taken this course, you should be well prepared for the job. But for right now, I have to say no. And I am a mother, so your not being told by someone who doesn’t have children. Sorry dear!! ]•:
