Child Care worker... specifically, I would seek a preschool teaching position.  As a preschool teacher you would have the opportunity to be creative in putting together lesson plans and activities for the children to participate in.  You would have a position of authority and have a chance to be a mentor.  I think that is much better for the children and for the teacher than being a "babysitter".  Also, as a child care worker or a teacher you would have more help and a more steady salary.  You also would not have to recruit students.  Even if the job is much the same, it's less stressful to handle in a separate environment than the one you have as your home (your haven).

Tell the mom about the situation so that she can decide what to do with the babysitter. If i were in the mom's place, I would get another babysitter who had more concern for both my child and more respect for me.

I'm not sure about statistics and I'm not really sure about child psychology.  But yes, nurses are needed desperately all over the US!  If you think you like it and really like to be in contact with people and caring for them, nursing is the way to go!\n\nI guess that if you are looking for statistics, you are looking at job safety and income as well, which I think is very wise!   Nursing has a very good income, so you wouldn't have any problem and be sure there are more than enough jobs all over.  However it is a very TOUGH job.  I'm a doctor and I must say that nurses are our angels.  We work hard, but they work harder and earn less.   I sometimes think that for the amount of work you do as a nurse, why don't become a doctor and earn more?  Of course, each serves a different purpose in health care delivery and it's much tougher to get into Medicine than into Nursing.  Also there are aspects of one that you may like over the other that drives you to choose one instead of the other.\n\nSo, this is my take on nursing, I don't have experience on child psychology.  Go ahead with nursing if you like it, we need you!\n\nKeep in mind anyway that any career choice you make, try to pick whatever you LIKE more than by convenience.

if you refuse a job that is not suitable for you or if it was for good cause you may be okay. if you pay more for a babysitter than you bring home, don't work .

Take a course in first aid and get certified in CPR. You may want to learn about childcare (giving baths, changing diapers, etc) for more experience. I have never heard of a babysitting license?

No i don't. I am a single mother, i can't even move out of my parents house because everything cost so much. I could get 2 jobs but then the cost of babysitters would spend all my money and then i wouldn't have time for my child.\n\nGovernment doesn't want to help anyone unless you need all there help. They won't just give you a little boost. \n\nIts hard to find a good job with decent pay. i feel bad for the children growing up in todays world that all.

Child care, for one, whether you are in a single parent household (getting good day care) or a two-parent family--does one parent stay home or do both parents work?\n\nI think that discipline and behavioral expectations are an issue. It seems that many parents are ambivalent about discipline, and they tend to let their kids do whatever they want and cater entirely to their needs.\n\nFinding a good preschool program is an issue. You want a high quality program that helps kids learn to interact socially with others. Not so easy to find.\n\nFinding a good balance between expecting kids to play with one another and having kids read and such, compared to the use of technology (gameboy, nintendo, TV, and computer).

My neice was looking for a job doing anything for at least min. wage. She found one taking care of two little children and she also does housework for the family. She is 19 and working her way through college. She makes $7.00 per hour. She loves it.

depending on the child and how good the babysitter is and how long the babysitter will be watching the child.  right around $5 and child for 3 hours and then up. Babysitting is one of the best ways to make money and if you are wanting alot of people to come to you to watch their children keep the price low the lower the more you will have.

Supply and demand.  There are a ton of people (i.e. large supply) that have the skillset to be a child care worker.  \n\nIf you don't feel you are compensated fairly, find a competitor to your company that is willing to pay you more.  At the end of the day, you're basically going to get paid for your skill set, work effort, etc.  If you're unhappy, you may want to consider getting more/different skills that will make you qualified for a higher paying job.

It is WAY better to be raised by loving caring parents then have your child being raised in a daycare. Being with your child teaching them what could be better and at least you know what they are learning and not learning from other children who may not have the best influences
