Babysittin' blues (sorta)

So, I'm taking a course in October for Babysitting. I'm so excited! I have some questions. Is there anything I should know before I begin? Advice? Ideas? And second, I was thinking of charging $7 an hour. Sound fair?

Just take good notes during your course - remember there's no such thing as a stupid question - know CPR - know the address of where you are in case you need 911...Take care !!

do a First aid course before you start, carry with you a diary with all important numbers, a few great kids books to take with you & $7 an hour is great if that makes you happy!

how many kids will you be minding & will it be your home or theirs?

all the best & if ever you want any other ideas let me know :-)
