How to steal a babysitting job from my sister.

Question

I got some neighbors who have 3 children. I have worked so hard for babysitting like dedicated a whole day to the red cross training. i love and maybe am a little obsessed with little children and babies!i have been wanting to babysit for 2 years now and i have been sooooo excited to do it, but never have found anybody with little children until now with the neighbors!

My sister on the other hand who is 2 years older than me doesn't dedicate anything. And of course SHE gets the job. probably just because she is older! i am way more responsible than her, even my parents admittied it!!

i neeed that job! i want it more than SHe does! i dont even care if they only pay me $3 an hour!!

please help me and give me some advice on this. (maybe even how to steal the job from her)

thanksssss!!

Answer 1

You could talk to your sister about it. Maybe if she see's how much you really want the job, she'll let you share some of the responsibility. Like if they want her to babysit, and she'd rather go out with friends instead on a particular evening. If she doesn't let you, and you really are that much more responsible then she is, and since she is older and probably wants to hang with friends, my guess is that after a little while, she'll get tired of babysitting three young kids and hand the job off to you anyways. You may need to be patient.

Here is another idea if you really want to babysit some young kids. Go to a church (if you don't already) and volunteer to help with Sunday school for the younger kids. Parents who may need babysitter will be impressed and if they can see how good you are with kids at church, they may ask you to babysit for them.
