      An important note to girls and parents:

      What should you do when a child won’t stop crying? How

      can you win over a shy six-year-old? What are the best games

      to play with babies? How do you handle a tantrum that goes

      on . . . and on . . . and on? This book has the answers to these

      questions and many more—including tips and tricks from

      experienced sitters.

      But reading this book will

      not

      make you a certified baby-

      sitter. Books can’t take the place of hands-on training—and

      books can’t teach you everything you need to know about

      first aid and CPR.

      Take this book to the job. The chapter on first aid will

      remind you what to do in an emergency—but it will not

      replace a first-aid class. To be certified, you must take

      a babysitter training course, such as the one offered by

      the American Red Cross.

      You need knowledge to care for children. So before

      bounding into the babysitting business, find out about

      babysitter training in your town, and sign up. Taking a

      course and reading books like this one will get you started.

      Before long, you’ll have the confidence to tell your clients,

      “I am the best babysitter—ever!”
