Is it true that a male my cannot babysit.?

Question

I am 18, male. People around my age cannot babysit. I ask because I was ALMOST asked at work for two girls ( ~ 5 months and ~ 3 years) What do you think?

Answer 1

No way man. guys can be just as good as girls. I think its because over all there's alot more girls out there baby sitting than guys. Most parents would probably feel safer with a girl because it's more traditional. I think the few guys out there baby sitting are just as god

Answer 2

You can babysit, it may be rare these days for a male to do it, but if someone says that you cant just because your a male then that's discrimination....

Answer 3

You can, it's just women are offered more, because women generally reach puberty sooner and therefore are seen as more responsible. But generally, by the age of 18, you'd think people would trust you.
