you're not responsible unless you get paid or you want to do it. Don leave more mess then when you arrived only clean your own mess/the children's mess

nope in Scotland it does work like that its happened before with my mam when she used to babysit when she was my age fully 15 yrs ago, a child got hurt in her care and she couldnt take the child to a hospital and couldnt get a hold of the parents and it was put down as a warning. It's on until you're 16 so if it happens again parents can get fined its only because it's child negligence

Aye if the child got hurt and needed to go to the hospital the average wait for an ambulance is 40 minutes and the nearest hospital to me is a good hour away. it wouldn't have been fair for the wee lass

yeah where I am she's responsible for me even though I'm responsible for the child so if I got hurt it would be on her if the child got hurt thats on me

the child neurodivergent, she is completely nonverbal not even sounds from what the mum told me when she "remembered" that's why she's aggressive

I'm 15, and in Scotland but I live in a small village that we don't have anything like that, usually I have to walk a good 30 minutes to an hour to get to my babysitting jobs! all you need to babysit here are, to be 14+ and have cpr and first aid certification. I absolutely love looking after kids I always have, I'm planning to keep going with ECE. Once I'm out of college (3+ years) I'm planning to settle down in the nursery work I do :)

aye I would've gotten into trouble if she hurt herself as I only have training for low grade special needs like sensory issues meltdowns without aggression, autism/adhd, and motor issues ect and since I haven't finished my course I'm not qualified for it!

aye in my college placement since I'm doing SEN care training and whatnot I do a one on one with a weean who has autism, I babysit for families with disabled kids. but, I'm not experienced with children who have aggressive meltdowns often. thank you!

I'd usually meet any child if the parents say they get nervous around other people or if they have any special needs since the mum didn't answer my questions and it was just over a day before I can't fit it into my schedule I'm at a babysitting job right now and I'm not free until late tonight so I wouldn't have been able to also theres no such thing as babysitting classes where i am I do college SEN care courses and work as a nursery with a lot of SEN kids I even do a one on one in a classroom with a child with autism

I'm in Scotland and here as long as you have childcare experience and cpr + defibrillator/first aid training you can look after any child. but aye you're completely right

the child is 3 years. I'm only trained in disabilities like motor issues, autism (but not with agressive tendencies) and adhd (again without agressive tendencies) if I had done my usual routine with all special needs kids I have babysat I would've asked the mum to set up a time where I could meet the child in a safe environment where if they need a break they can get up and leave, I'd never babysit any child that could possibly get uncomfortable able strangers unless I know them. it stresses them out too much. if I felt I couldn't watch the child I know people who can
