How do you ask a mother of a four-year-old if you could babysit her child?

Question

My neighbor is the cutest thing! She plays with me a lot and I am really good with her. I feel that, if needed, I could babysit for the family. They live right next to me so the comute won't be a problem but I am not sure how to tell them that I am available.Please help !

Answer 1

If they need a babysitter, they will probably ask.

Answer 2

i have 4 kids and you should just offer because help is hard to find with kids an just knowing that the child is already comfortable with you helps too go for it they probabaly need a night out

Answer 3

One day when you are playing with the child and the parents are around you could just say that if they ever need a babysitter that you would be more than willing to help.  

Answer 4

how old are you?  are you CPR certified?  know what to do in an emergency situation?

depending on your age, she might not want you to babysit her.  all you can do is ask, or tell her mom that you'd be willing to babysit her if she wants a night out, or if she needs to go food shopping or run errands.

Answer 5

Tell them that you are available any time they need.  They would probably be glad to know, in the case that they ever do need a sitter, they can call you.
