Plot:
This book is a great source for babysitters, which is a popular tween venture. The book describes creating a resume, marketing, behavior to expect from children of different ages, and more. The book even details great games and strategies for children, which can be very helpful on the job. The book, written by a PhD., even goes into detail on dealing with conflicts between siblings, tantrums, and other difficult situations that may arise. The final chapter of the book is even devoted to babysitting children that may have special needs. From disasters to diapers, this book is a valuable resource for babysitters or babysitter hopefuls.
Review:
I'm a mom, and I found the book interesting. I do however think that the book leaves a few choice things out, like what to do when the kid poops and draws on the wall with it, what works best for getting crayon off wall and upholstery, how to unplug a toilet, how to get things out of noses and ears (if possible), and reminding children to keep their junk in their pants. But, I guess some things are just on the job experiences. Also, there's probably a good reason only my family will watch my kids more than once.
