Every Month The ToT Watch girls give out tips.

10 Safety Tips

1. Lock all doors when parents leave.

2. Don't go outside unless the parents say it is okay, your parents say it is okay, and if you feel comfortable doing it.

3. When cooking make sure the handle to the pot on the stove is to the side so the child can not grab it and burn herself or himself. It can also make a huge mess.

4. Make sure all emergency phone numbers are by the telephone and where you can reach them.

5. If the food that you made for the child or children is hot enough for you to keep blowing on it then it will be way to hot for the child.

6. Never tell anyone on the phone that you are the babysitter that is home alone.

7. Make sure that the kids are somewhere that you can see them when on the phone.

8. Don't wear long or dangly jewelry while babysitting.

9. Ask the parents if any of the children have allergies.

10. Never leave the children alone.

Some extra babysitting tips.

Loose clothes and clothes that you don't really care if they get dirty are probably the best to were to a babysitting job.If you don't feel comfortable babysitting for someone then don't. If you have already told a family that you would babysit for them and then your friend calls you and invites you to go to a movie the same night then don't tell the family that you can't babysit that night. If there is a family emergency then you can. Never shout at a child if they won't behave or if the don't un. It just makes things worse.

Don't go against what the parents say.
