WHo would oyu let babysit your kids...?

Question

Would you let a mother of two who lives with her boyfriend (not married) lost her job (downturn) babysit your kids...

I am a really good person with morals and a great mother and my boyfriend is a wonderful man and my kids are happy (spoiled, but happy) and I want to start babysitting but I thought that mabey my living arrangments wouldn't appeal to people. Me nor my boyfriend drink or do drugs but ya know the people will just see the outside looking in and have to trust me by what they know (see) what so you think. I am responsible and going to school Just though babysitting would work well so I can be home with my children and go to school and have extra cash (no to mention I love workin with kids)

Answer 1

i dont have any kids but honestly i wouldnt let anyone but family watch my kids. theres too many kids getting abused sexually and physically now and days.

Answer 2

dear gymnast-- sadly, family also abuses.. ones who you would never suspect. it's scary. i would trust some of my friends more than my parents... it just depends.

Answer 3

if i knew the woman well, and she was a good woman then sure... it has nothing to do with her job status or whether she is married. Im expecting #3 with my boyfriend and we are not married...

Answer 4

My life situation is not the best either at the moment. My boyfriend is an extremely talented photographer without savvy business knowledge and I am pregnant young woman in school and working full time, and trying to take the business part of my boyfriend's work to new heights. I have to stop working in September due to childbirth, and for me, outside care is not an option. My boyfriend and I are both running around in circles and worrying that our opportunity out of an impoverished lifestyle won't swing by our way.

We are busy, overly tired, and underkept, but we STILL drop everything for his brother's family. His brother has three children, a wife, and a very successful and overly profitable business (making around 30 times as more as my boyfriend and I combined). We love our nieces to death and the parents trust us over anyone else with their children not because we are family, but because we mean well for their children and take great care with them.

Answer 5

There is nothing that would make me think that a married woman would be a better babysitter, so yes - as long as you demonstrated that you were good with the kids, responsible, etc, then I wouldn't think people would have a problem with it.  Some people might disagree with your living situation, but that doesn't matter - you only need to appeal to the one or two families who you will be babysitting for, so go for it!

Answer 6

After watching all the Shaking Baby Syndrome videos on youtube.com the only people that i trust to watch my son are his grandmothers and his father. i dont leave my son with any one else.
