How to Add Babysitting to Your Resume (with Examples)

11 min read · Updated on February 08, 2024

Get ahead by finding out how to make your babysitting experience shine

When you're first starting out in your career, it can be tricky knowing what to put in the work experience section of your resume. You almost certainly have something to add in this section, however, whether that's voluntary work, a weekend job, or odd jobs that you've done for friends and family.

In this blog, we'll look at a job that lots of graduates have experienced: babysitting. Yes, popping by to play with your neighbor's kid for a couple of hours while the parents grab a meal, or watching TV while your niece sleeps upstairs does count as work experience! After all, it proves that you're reliable and sensible enough to be trusted with the most precious thing in a parent's life – their children. Babysitting can boost your resume with the valuable skills, responsibilities and experience that employers like to see, but you need to know how to present it well. 

Why babysitting is a great start to your career

To you it may just be some extra cash, but to a potential employer it shows that you have the right skills and attitude. If you can convey your employability by adding babysitting on your resume, you absolutely should! There are so many benefits to working as a babysitter – you're earning money, you can study while the baby sleeps, you can prove you have the right attitude to work, you'll have something to talk about in a job interview, and – very importantly – it gives you a starting point for that key Work Experience section on your resume.

So now you know why babysitting is more than just a side hustle, let's dive in and see how you can impress employers by learning how to describe babysitting on your resume.

Create a heading

It's important that your resume is easy for a potential employer to navigate, so clear headings are a must. The main headings you'll need on your resume are:

Professional profile (also called a Summary)

Education (or Qualifications)

Work Experience

The headings should be in a larger font than the main body of the text and presented consistently throughout the document.

The one that's most important for the purposes of adding babysitting to your resume is the Work Experience heading. This section is where you can really make your babysitting experience sing.

Create a subheading

Next up, you'll want to create a subheading for each role you've held. Each subheading will need to include:

Your job title. That's easy – you can use “Babysitter,” “Childminder,” or “Caregiver” – whichever you prefer.

Your employer. This is a bit trickier – usually, you'd just add the name of the company you worked for, but – in most cases – babysitting isn't carried out for a company. What can you put as the employer if you're babysitting? You could add the name of the family you worked for, for example “Addams Family,” or use something more generic such as “Various Local Families” or “Townsville Families.”

Your dates of employment. Just adding the month(s) and years here is fine. You may want to add further detail, such as “part time” or “3 hours per week,” but there's no obligation to do so.

You don't need a different subheading for each babysitting job on your resume – that would quickly get repetitive if you've had several of those jobs. You can include them all under one sub-heading and add any relevant information underneath. For example: “Looked after an 18-month-old baby and 7-year-old twins for two local families.”

Note your babysitting responsibilities and skills

The detail under your subheading is where you get the chance to really show off the responsibilities and skills you gained as a babysitter. Before you dive into this section, think about the instructions you received before starting the job and what you actually did each time. There's probably more than you think! Try these prompts for responsibilities to get you going:

Putting children to bed at a certain time

Bathing them

Changing their clothes

Dropping them off in an agreed place

Ensuring they behave and disciplining them appropriately

Setting a good example as a role model

Preparing snacks or meals

Changing diapers

Keeping to their normal schedule

Meeting the requirements of children with special needs

Staying alert to hazards

Keeping an eye on the baby monitor

Reading stories, crafting and playing at an age-appropriate level

Helping with homework

Updating parents on behavior and incidents

And maybe you developed some of these skills:

Reliability

Following instructions

Trustworthiness

Time management and punctuality

Communication

Customer service

Hygiene and food safety

Supervision

Problem solving

Responsibility

You don't just want a long list of responsibilities and skills on your resume though. Oh no. Now you've decided what experience and skills you've gained, you need to do two things.

1.  Figure out which are most relevant to the job you're now aiming for

2.  Write the experience and skills into achievement-focused bullet points

For example, if you're now aiming for a role in retail, you'll want to prioritize communication, customer service, and time management over less relevant skills such as childcare and creativity. If you're not sure which skills to prioritize, check out some job adverts for roles you're interested in and see what they're asking for.

Write achievement-focused bullets

It's easy to think that you didn't achieve anything of value in a babysitting job, but when you're adding babysitting on your resume you'll soon discover that you've achieved more than you thought. The trick is to present your responsibilities and skills in a way that shows how you made a difference.

Start each bullet with a different verb, to show your actions and contribution, then add what you did and the positive outcome from it.

These examples show how you can write achievement-focused bullet points to make the babysitting on your resume sound impressive:

Arrived on time for every shift, despite frequent bus cancellations, demonstrating excellent time management and reliability

Received recommendations to other families needing babysitting, having impressed the family with a mature and trustworthy attitude

Supported a 7-year-old with English homework, resulting in positive feedback from teachers and strong grades

Communicated effectively with parents and children alike, building a positive rapport and securing further requests for babysitting

Minimized hazards and provided first aid for cuts, bumps and bruises, showing empathy and initiative

Prioritized excellent customer service to parents, including following instructions, advising them of problems arising and providing them with worry-free time out

This list of bullets doesn't need to be exhaustive – in fact, six is probably plenty. Make sure that the bullets show off YOU and your skills. A recruiter knows what a babysitter does, so they're not looking for a general description of your responsibilities. They're looking for the skills and experience that set you apart from every other babysitter.

Babysitting skills for your resume

Above, we brainstormed babysitting skills that you could include on your resume, and no doubt you'll be able to think of plenty more. As with the Work Experience section though, you don't just want to include a random and exhaustive list. When it comes to compiling your Skills section, choose roughly 5-10 skills that align most closely with the requirements of the job you're applying for.

Babysitting on a resume  - example

Let's put all that together to create an example of how to put babysitting on a resume in an impactful way:

BABYSITTER                                                                           Dec 2023 – Feb 2024

The Carter Family

Cared for an 18-month-old baby and a 3-year-old girl for 4 hours once a week, freeing their parents' time to socialize and complete chores

Invented engaging games and prepared craft activities, with the father noting that his daughter spent far less time on her screens as a result

Prepared healthy snacks, ensuring good hygiene standards and table manners, and cleared up afterwards to minimize work for the parents

Changed the baby's diaper and bathed him, and supervised the girl's evening routine, using excellent time management to ensure they were ready for bed when the parents returned

Gained the parent's trust, having proved to be reliable and patient, resulting in a referral to their friends for ad hoc childcare

Balanced a busy job with full-time studies, prioritizing effectively to achieve consistently strong grades without impacting performance when babysitting

What not to do

Now you know how to write a stand-out resume showing your babysitting experience – but wait! Make sure you're not committing any of these faux pas before you mark the job as done.

Being too honest

Okay, honesty is definitely the best policy when it comes to writing your resume and we don't condone lying for any reason. But there's such a thing as being too honest. Maybe the kids you babysat had appalling manners and behaved like feral beasts. Don't say that! Nobody wants to work with a Debbie Downer or Negative Nora. Speak well of your employers and their offspring at all times. Remember what your mum told you – if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Giving too much information

There are two strands to giving too much information. One – keep the information concise and to the point. You get no points for waffling here. And two – don't overshare. Your reader doesn't need to know diaper details or a minute-by-minute routine. Tell them only what they need to know to realize they need to get you in for an interview, and no more.

Making assumptions

Conversely, don't assume that your reader knows what you did. There's a world of difference between watching TV while a baby sleeps upstairs and helping an 11-year-old with their homework. Give them enough information to understand the main remit of your role, without getting bogged down in detail or, as we said above, stating the obvious.

Being indiscreet

An employer wants to be assured that you will keep their company information confidential. That means the parents employing you as a babysitter expect you not to share how they rolled home drunk every time you babysat, and your future employers will appreciate your discretion in not spilling that. Showing discretion and the ability to maintain confidentiality on your resume and throughout an interview will make your star shine brighter.

Other experience for an entry-level resume

Is your work experience section still looking a bit thin? Babysitting experience is better than no experience, but have you considered other ways to give this section a shot in the arm? Experience in any of these areas counts too :

Internships. These are definitely worth a shout-out on your resume and are more likely to be aligned with your career goals.

Voluntary work. Unpaid experience counts just as much as paid experience – it's not about the money honey, it's about the skills you developed and the experience you gained.

Gig work. Think only permanent or full-time work counts? Think again. Selling your crafts on Etsy, delivering pizza, designing flyers for local businesses and other ad hoc work are still contributing to your skill set and employability.

University responsibilities. Yes, being a subject rep, captain of the soccer team, college ambassador, and any other positions of responsibility you held while studying are all relevant ways of gaining experience for your resume.

When not to include babysitting on a resume

Babysitting is a great career-starter for your resume, as we've seen. It's not for every resume, however! Can you imagine a company looking for a CEO for their multinational business and being impressed that their senior executive applicants did some babysitting 25 years ago? No, there's a time and a place for everything.

When you're settled into a permanent or full-time role, there's really no need to include babysitting on your resume any longer. You'll develop professional skills and gain relevant experience that is far more likely to impress recruiters as you progress up the career ladder. 

That's not to dismiss babysitting as not resume-worthy! As we've seen, it's a great opportunity to start building those skills and that reputation to get your career started. Just be mindful of when it's time to remove it from your resume. After all, a resume is your personal sales brochure, not your life story.

Step into the world of work with a resume you can be proud of

In this article, we've discussed why babysitting is a great addition to your resume and how to include babysitting on your resume, as well as some mistakes to avoid. You should be feeling pretty proud of what you've achieved!

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

How to start a babysitting business in 7 steps

• Jeremy Greenbaum

Are you passionate about providing quality care for children, enjoy organizing fun activities and love connecting with families? If so, starting a babysitting business could be the perfect venture for you. In this guide, we'll take you through the steps of starting a babysitting business, from developing your concept to creating a professional business website and effectively marketing your services. We'll also address the common challenges that come with running a babysitting business and provide tips on how to overcome them.

What is a babysitting business?

A babysitting business is a service-based venture that offers childcare services on a temporary basis to families. Babysitters offer supervision, playtime and basic care for children while their parents or guardians are away. So, if this type of business fits your passion and skillset, starting a career in babysitting might be the perfect path for you.

Why start a babysitting business?

Professional childcare has become an integral part of our modern society and continues to rise year over year . Here's why starting a babysitting business is a great opportunity:

Growing demand: The need for trusted and quality childcare services has always been high, but with an increasing number of dual-income households , the demand continues to grow.

Affordable startup costs: Compared to many other businesses, starting a babysitting business requires relatively low startup costs. You'll need to invest in essential supplies such as toys, safety equipment and basic administrative resources. As your business expands, you can gradually invest in additional resources and certifications.

Flexible schedule: Running a babysitting business provides flexibility in terms of working hours and the ability to choose your clients. You can create a schedule that suits your lifestyle and cater to the needs of families seeking childcare services during evenings, weekends or specific timeframes.

Profit potential: Babysitting services can be priced competitively, allowing for a favorable profit margin. As you gain experience, build a positive reputation and establish long-term relationships with clients, you can increase your rates and earn a higher income.

How to start a babysitting business: 7 steps to get set up

If you're passionate about childcare and ready to turn your dream of starting a business into a reality, here are eight helpful steps to lay a solid foundation.

Research the market and plan your business

Choose your business type and register your business

Secure funding

Acquire the right tools and supplies

Set your pricing and services

Provide excellent customer service

Monitor and improve your business performance

01. Research the market and plan your business

Conduct market research to gain insight into the local demand for babysitting services, identify your target market and analyze competitors. Develop a business plan that outlines your goals, marketing strategies, pricing structure, financial projections and business operations .

“The biggest challenge was having a business model so to speak—or a blueprint and sticking to that blueprint. Eventually when we found our blueprint, we got ourselves out of trying to sell here, there, and everywhere.” Co-founders, Darby Pritchards

02. Choose your business type and register your business

Decide on the legal structure and business entity for your babysitting business, such as a sole proprietorship , partnership or limited liability company (LLC) .

Then register your business with the appropriate state agency, such as the Secretary of State or county clerk's office. This step establishes your business as a legal entity. At this point, you’ll need to name your business. Consider using a business name generator for inspiration.

03. Secure funding

Although a babysitting business can vary greatly in terms of start-up cost, you still want to make sure to plan all of your operating expenses so there are no surprises. These costs could include rent, certifications, additional staff and supplies. It's crucial to have a detailed budget and a solid plan for securing the necessary funding. You can raise money for your business through personal savings, online platforms, small business loans or investors.

04. Acquire the right tools and supplies

Ensure you have the necessary supplies to provide a safe and engaging environment for children, such as age-appropriate toys, games, books and first aid kits. Consider investing in safety equipment, such as baby gates or outlet covers, to create a child-friendly space.

05. Set your pricing and services

Determine your pricing structure based on factors such as the number of children, hours of care and additional services you may offer, such as meal preparation or homework assistance. Research the pricing of other babysitting businesses in your area to ensure competitive rates while reflecting the value of your services.

06. Provide excellent customer service

Focus on delivering exceptional customer service by building trust with parents and providing a safe and nurturing environment for children. Communicate clearly, listen to parents' instructions and concerns, and maintain open and professional relationships. Encourage feedback and continuously improve your services based on client preferences and recommendations.

07. Monitor and improve your business performance

Implement systems to track your business performance, such as keeping records of bookings, customer feedback and revenue. Regularly assess your performance, identify areas for improvement and adjust your strategies accordingly.

Cost to start a babysitting business

The cost to start a babysitting business can vary depending on several factors such as location, scale and the services you plan to offer. Here's an estimated breakdown of potential costs in the US.

Training and certification

CPR and first aid certification: $50 - $150 (highly recommended)

Babysitting course: $25 - $100

Legal and licensing

Business license and permits: $50 - $200 (varies by state)

Background check and fingerprinting: $30 - $100 (varies by state)

Marketing and branding

Business cards and flyers: $50 - $100

Online presence (website, social media): Free - several hundred dollars

Supplies and equipment

Childcare supplies (toys, books, activities): $100 - $300

Safety supplies (first aid kit, fire extinguisher): $50 - $100

Liability Insurance: $200 - $500 per year

It's important to note that these estimates are approximate and can vary based on your location and specific business needs. Additionally, some costs might be recurring, such as liability insurance, marketing expenses and certification renewals.

To get a more accurate estimate, research costs in your specific area and consider factors like local regulations, advertising costs and any additional services you plan to offer. Creating a detailed business plan can help you outline your expected costs and plan your budget effectively.

How profitable is a babysitting business

The profitability of a babysitting business depends on several factors, including:

How much you charge: The average hourly rate for babysitters varies depending on location, experience and any additional services offered. Rates can range from $10 to $30 per hour or more depending on your location.

Number of hours you work: The number of hours worked per week will directly impact your income. As a part-time babysitters may only work a few hours per week, while full-time you may may work 40 hours or more. The more hours you work, the more you'll earn.

If you have any expenses: These can eat into profitabilit y so keep them low if you can, e specially at the start as you build up your babysitting clients. Business expenses may include transportation, insurance (check requirements in your state) and supplies.

Tax payments: Babysitting income is taxable and babysitters are responsible for paying self-emp loyment taxes (check requirement s in your state).

After accounting for expenses and taxes, the profit margin for a babysitting business can range from 50% to 70%. This is just a suggestion and actual profitability may vary widely.

Managing your babysitting business

Operating and managing a babysitting business is hard work. Here are four essential steps to effectively manage your venture:

Use scheduling software or online platforms to manage appointments, track availability and communicate with clients. Offer online payment options through secure platforms or apps to streamline the payment process and enhance convenience for your clients.

Compile a comprehensive list of supplies needed for babysitting, including diapers, wipes, snacks, toys, books, first aid supplies and cleaning products. Regularly check your inventory and ensure you have an ample supply of necessary items. Keep them well-organized and easily accessible for efficient caregiving.

Develop and implement thorough safety protocols, including childproofing measures, emergency preparedness plans and proper handling of medication or allergies. Maintain a clean and sanitized environment, regularly disinfecting toys and surfaces.

Develop SOPs for various aspects of your babysitting business, including client interactions, emergency protocols and daily routines. Provide comprehensive training to your employees on essential child care practices, such as feeding, diapering, age-appropriate activities and behavior management.

Promoting your babysitting business

Promoting your babysitting business is crucial for attracting clients and building a strong reputation. To make sure that your branding is polished and consistent, use Wix’s logo maker to create a logo that you can feature in all of your digital assets. Also, check out these medical logo ideas for inspiration. Beyond this, here are some tips to help you fill your calendar:

Network to build your customer base: Networking is essential for a babysitting business. Connect with parents and other child-related businesses such as schools and pediatricians. Attend parenting groups, community events and join online platforms dedicated to childcare to establish relationships that will lead to clients.

Invest in marketing strategies: Create a professional website using website builders like Wix to showcase your services, rates and testimonials. Optimize your website for search engines to increase visibility. Aside from promoting your brand online, try some in-person tactics: distribute flyers, brochures or business cards in local community centers, schools and supermarkets. Consider placing ads in local newspapers or parenting magazines.

Consider using social media platforms: You can create a Facebook business page and share engaging content such as tips for parents, parenting resources and testimonials from satisfied clients. Or, use Instagram to showcase your babysitting services through visually appealing posts. Share photos of happy children engaged in activities or create informative and entertaining videos related to childcare. Connect with local professionals via LinkedIn, especially those who work in child-related industries. Share informative articles, participate in relevant groups and establish yourself as an expert in the field.

Benefits of starting a babysitting business

Starting a babysitting business can be a rewarding and potentially lucrative venture. Here are some of the primary benefits:

Be your own boss: As a babysitter, you have the freedom to set your own schedule and work on your terms. You can choose the hours and days you are available to provide child care services, giving you flexibility and control over your work-life balance.

Earn a supplemental income: Babysitting offers the opportunity to earn a supplemental income. Whether you're a student, stay-at-home parent or someone looking for additional income, babysitting can be a flexible and rewarding way to generate extra money.

Fulfilling work: Caring for children can be incredibly rewarding. You have the chance to make a positive impact on a child's life, foster their growth and development and provide a safe and nurturing environment while their parents are away.

Build valuable skills: Babysitting allows you to develop important skills such as communication, problem-solving, multitasking and responsibility. These skills can be transferable and beneficial in various personal and professional settings.

Challenges of starting a babysitting business

While starting a babysitting business offers numerous benefits, it's important to be aware of the challenges you may face:

Safety and liability: As a babysitter, you’re responsible for the well-being and safety of the children in your care. It’s important to implement safety measures, be trained in first aid and CPR and have appropriate liability insurance to protect yourself and the children.

Building trust: Building a trustworthy reputation is crucial in the babysitting industry. Initially, gaining the trust of parents and proving yourself as a reliable caregiver can be challenging. However, by providing excellent care, maintaining open communication and establishing positive relationships, you can build trust and attract more clients.

Managing unpredictable situations: Childcare can involve unexpected challenges. From dealing with tantrums to handling emergencies, being prepared to handle various scenarios is essential. Developing problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to different situations will help you navigate the challenges of running this type of a business successfully.

Popular posts, creating an effective business plan for your babysitting services.

Starting a babysitting service can be a rewarding and lucrative endeavor, providing you with the opportunity to work with children and make a positive impact on their lives. However, like any business venture, it requires careful planning and preparation to ensure success. Developing a comprehensive business plan is crucial to outline your goals, strategies, and financial projections. In this article, we will discuss five key areas that should be included in your business plan for your babysitting services. By addressing these essential components, you can set a strong foundation for your business and increase your chances of long-term success.

Table of Contents

Executive summary, company overview, market analysis, marketing and sales strategies, financial projections.

The executive summary is a concise yet comprehensive overview of your business plan. It serves as an introduction to your business and should include a summary of your goals, target market, competitive advantage, and financial projections. While it appears at the beginning of your plan, it is often recommended to write it last, as it summarizes the key points of each section.

On-Demand Childcare in Your Neighborhood

In this section, you will provide a detailed description of your babysitting service. Start by outlining the legal structure of your business, whether you are operating as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC). Include information about the services you will offer, such as part-time or full-time babysitting, age groups you will cater to, and any additional services or specializations you plan to provide.

Additionally, describe the mission and vision of your babysitting service. Explain the values that will guide your business and distinguish it from competitors. Highlight any unique selling points, such as certified staff, specialized training, or a commitment to environmental sustainability.

Before launching your babysitting service, it is crucial to conduct a thorough market analysis. This will help you understand your target market, identify competitors, and assess the demand for your services. Begin by defining your target market, including demographic information such as age groups, income levels, and geographical location.

Next, research the competition in your area. Identify other babysitting services and assess their strengths, weaknesses, and pricing strategies. Determine how you can differentiate yourself from the competition and offer a unique value proposition to attract clients.

Furthermore, analyze the demand for babysitting services in your target market. Consider factors such as the number of households with young children, parents’ needs for regular or occasional childcare, and any cultural or economic trends that may affect the demand for your services. This analysis will help you gauge the potential profitability and sustainability of your business.

Once you have a clear understanding of your target market and competition, it’s time to develop effective marketing and sales strategies to promote your babysitting service. Start by identifying your most effective marketing channels, such as social media, local parenting groups, or community centers where you can advertise your services. Create a compelling brand identity that resonates with your target market. This includes designing a professional logo, creating consistent visual and written messaging, and developing a user-friendly website or online platform. Utilize persuasive language that emphasizes the benefits and unique features of your babysitting service. Consider offering incentives or promotions to attract new clients or encourage repeat business. This can include discounts for first-time customers, referral programs for current clients, or bundled service packages at discounted rates.

Additionally, establish partnerships with local businesses or organizations that serve families, such as pediatricians, schools, or toy stores, to expand your network and reach a broader audience.

One of the most critical aspects of your business plan is the financial projections section. This section provides an estimate of your revenue, expenses, and profitability over a specific timeframe. Start by outlining your startup costs, including expenses such as licensing fees, insurance, background checks for employees, marketing materials, and any equipment or supplies you may need.

Next, estimate your monthly and annual revenue based on factors such as the number of clients you can serve, the average hourly rate you will charge, and any additional income streams you may have, such as late-night or weekend rates. Keep in mind that in the early stages of your business, it may take time to build a steady client base, so be realistic in your revenue projections.

Forecast your expenses, including employee wages, marketing expenses, insurance premiums, and operational costs, such as rent if you plan to have a physical location. Don’t forget to include contingency funds for unexpected expenses or emergencies. Lastly, calculate your projected profitability by subtracting your expenses from your revenue.

Creating an effective business plan for your babysitting services is crucial for laying the groundwork for a successful venture. By including an executive summary, a detailed company overview, conducting a thorough market analysis, developing strong marketing and sales strategies, and providing accurate financial projections, you can impress potential investors or lenders and increase your chances of long-term success. Remember to regularly revisit your business plan and update it as necessary to adapt to changing market conditions, refine your strategies, and ensure the continued growth and profitability of your babysitting service.

Frequently Asked Questions

A business plan is a written document that outlines your business goals, strategies, and operational plans. It helps provide direction and clarity to your babysitting services by identifying potential challenges and offering solutions. It also assists in securing funding or attracting potential clients.

Your business plan should include an executive summary, company overview, market analysis, services and pricing, marketing and advertising strategies, financial projections, and operational plans. It should also outline your target market, competitive advantage, and goals for growth.

In your business plan, you can outline unique features or services that you offer, such as CPR certification, specialized care for children with disabilities, or flexible scheduling options. Additionally, you should include a detailed marketing strategy, including online and offline advertising, word-of-mouth referrals, and partnerships with local organizations or schools.

To create financial projections, identify your anticipated revenue streams, including rates charged per hour, average number of hours worked per week, and estimated number of clients. Then, calculate your expected expenses, such as supplies, transportation costs, and advertising expenses. By subtracting your expenses from your revenue, you can forecast your potential profit and estimate the time it might take to break even.

It is recommended to review and update your business plan annually or whenever there are significant changes in your market or business environment. Updating your plan allows you to adapt to new trends, evaluate the success of your strategies, and make necessary adjustments to maintain the effectiveness of your business operations.

Baby Sitting by Gillian Clarke F

“This is a deliberate choice, and intended to guide the reader.” In Clarke’s own words, this is a poem about baby-sitting Baby Sitting I am sitting in the wrong room listeningFor the wrong baby. I don’t loveThis baby. She is sleeping a snufflyRoseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;She is a perfectly acceptable child.I am afraid of her. If she wakesShe will hate me. She will shoutHer hot midnight rage, her noseWill stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me. To her I will represent absoluteAbandonment. For her it will be worseThan for the lover cold in lonelySheets; worse than for the woman who waitsA moment to collect her dignityBeside the bleached bone in the terminal ward.As she rises sobbing from the monstrous landStretching for milk–familiar comforting,She will find me and between us twoIt will not come. It will not come. “The important words: 'wrong' to describe the baby. I, the baby-sitter, am telling you, the reader, that I am sitting in an unfamiliar room, not in my own house. Then I tell you that I am listening for 'the wrong baby', that is, not my baby. Later, I emphasise this: 'I don't love this baby.' This is a poem about love and loss and the powerful emotions of a parent and child for each other This stanza is about the baby's feeling in the company of a stranger. It describes the baby's fear and loneliness. The baby-sitter is not sorry for herself, but sorry for the baby F

Baby Sitting I am sitting in the wrong room listeningFor the wrong baby. I don’t loveThis baby. She is sleeping a snufflyRoseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;She is a perfectly acceptable child.I am afraid of her. If she wakesShe will hate me. She will shoutHer hot midnight rage, her noseWill stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me. To her I will represent absoluteAbandonment. For her it will be worseThan for the lover cold in lonelySheets; worse than for the woman who waitsA moment to collect her dignityBeside the bleached bone in the terminal ward.As she rises sobbing from the monstrous landStretching for milk–familiar comforting,She will find me and between us twoIt will not come. It will not come. Stanza one focuses on the mother’s feeling of being in a house with someone else’s baby. Stanza two focuses on the bay’s feeling of abandonment The poem is told from a personal perspective; in the first person. What is the effect of this on the reader? F

Repetition emphasises the strangeness of the situation. The use of wrong implies that there is a right baby Baby Sitting I am sitting in the wrong room listeningFor the wrong baby. I don’t loveThis baby. She is sleeping a snufflyRoseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;She is a perfectly acceptable child.I am afraid of her. If she wakesShe will hate me. She will shoutHer hot midnight rage, her noseWill stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me. To her I will represent absoluteAbandonment. For her it will be worseThan for the lover cold in lonelySheets; worse than for the woman who waitsA moment to collect her dignityBeside the bleached bone in the terminal ward.As she rises sobbing from the monstrous landStretching for milk–familiar comforting,She will find me and between us twoIt will not come. It will not come. Enjambment allows the reader to consider that the speaker doesn’t love at all but line three confirms that the speaker does love, just not this baby. Her ‘mother’s eye’ allows her to appreciate the baby as it sleeps. This contrasts with the odd description of the child in the following line Caesura forces the reader to ponder this odd statement. How can she be afraid of a baby? Why will the baby hate her? She is disgusted by the baby’s screaming and runny nose. Unlike its mother would be F

Baby Sitting I am sitting in the wrong room listeningFor the wrong baby. I don’t loveThis baby. She is sleeping a snufflyRoseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;She is a perfectly acceptable child.I am afraid of her. If she wakesShe will hate me. She will shoutHer hot midnight rage, her noseWill stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me.

Long sentence contrasts with earlier short sentences. What is the effect of this? Clarke says, “[this] implies that I understand the experience of being enchanted by a baby's breath. I use the word 'perfume' - something joyfully experienced as a mother.” Alliteration stresses how complete the feeling of loss is. Enjambment means the abandonment comes as a shock to the reader, as it would to the child. The caesura forces the reader to dwell on this feeling Clarke compares the baby’s feelings to adult situations of abandonment. The jilted lover and the dying spouse. Why does she do this? Explain this image. F

Baby Sitting I am sitting in the wrong room listeningFor the wrong baby. I don’t loveThis baby. She is sleeping a snufflyRoseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;She is a perfectly acceptable child.I am afraid of her. If she wakesShe will hate me. She will shoutHer hot midnight rage, her noseWill stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me.

The baby awakes from a bad dream. This is exactly the time when a child needs comforting most and makes the absence of maternal comfort all the more pitiful The loss for the baby is both practical (loss of food) and emotional (the stranger can give no comfort). A metaphor for comfort that, as the last line says, is not forthcoming Does this hint at the future loss and hardships to come? Which is worse, the confused pain of the child or the knowing pain of the adult? Repetition stresses that neither the milk, nor the comfort, will come because this child is not hers F

Review • How does the poem show a contrast between what we think and what we feel? • Do you share the poet's viewpoint here - how would you (do you) feel towards children who are not your own? • How far is this poem about the writer's own children? • How does the poet relate the baby's experiences to what happens in later life? F

Comparisons • Song of the Old Mother • Both deal with the relationship of mother and child • Could Song of theMother be said to have a more bitter tone • Baby Sitting uses quite negative contrasts to present what is ultimately a pleasant idea (motherly love). In what way is Song of the Old Mother the same/different • Link would be that this poem considers the cycle of life and the way in which the roles of people change with age. • On My First Sonne • First person narrative • Both deal with abandonment and loss but On My First Sonne is more concerned with the parents anxiety rather than the child’s F

Comparisons • Follower • Parent-child relationships are dealt with • Perspective is different in these two poems (one he parent the other the child) • Mid-term Break • Both deal with the trauma of loss, one permanent the other temporary • Look at the imagery used in both to express this loss • Both are personal accounts of singular events that can be seen as having universal applications F

Active Sitting- The Healthier Way of Sitting

What if we tell you, there's a more brilliant, more beneficial approach to sitting? Yes, sitting can have major long term effects on your body, and this new approach called active sitting or dynamic sitting is changing the way individuals feel at worku2014and beyondu2014by zeroing in on one straightforward however significant thought: the human body was intended to move! Active or dynamic sitting actively engages your muscles while sitting in a chair whether that be back, abdominal, or leg muscles. Instead of remaining motionless for an 8-hour period, active sitting allows a person to make changes to their sitting patterns in order to keep muscle groups active with benefits like increase in core strength, constant moving, improved circulation and concentration, burning calories, lessen chronic pain, and so on amounting to light physical activity throughout the day. While customary ergonomics attempted to secure the body in one "great" position, dynamic sitting backs the body's characteristic requirement for developmentu2014improving stance,course, energy, and movement so you can appear all the more active and productive! WHY IS ACTIVE SITTING ESSENTIAL? Lack of exercise is well known as a risk factor for lifestyle diseases and, prolonged Sitting has been found associated with several risks for health and obesity. Recently, scientists claim that a lack of daily movements has more dramatic effects on health than previously thought. These scientists argue that sitting itself is an independent risk factor, hence bodily movements while working are also essential. Cardiovascular disease risk goes up by 147% for people with high levels of sedentary behavior and sitting for long periods of time is linked to a 112% increase in the risk of diabetes Even with 4-7 hours of moderate to vigorous exercise weekly, sitting for 5-6 hours a day still increases mortality rate by 50%. It has been found that over 25% of individuals spend more than 8 hours of continuous sitting for work. However, a 2010 study with 184,190 participants reported that people who spent more than 6 hours per day sitting with low levels of physical activity have a 71% increase in mortality rate. Active Seating effectively enables light physical activity while working and ensures a good health. u00b7 Increases overall core strength u00b7 Encourages constant moving u00b7 Improves posture u00b7 Helps burn calories u00b7 Improves blood circulation and concentration u00b7 Makes your body less prone to back pain CORECHAIR : THE HEALTHIEST CHAIR With the concept of gym balls as an exercise tool and replacement of chairs sounds fantastic but is certainly not so beneficial. Most individuals lack the core strength to hold the stability ball for 8 hours. What if we tell you, there's a chair that derives all the benefits of a gym stability ball and incorporates it into a chair? The revolutionary CoreChair captures the idea of a stability ball without over-exerting your muscles and giving you a free flow of movement throughout! According to Dr. Callaghan from the University of Waterloo, CoreChair is more proficient at presenting wanted development and an activity opportunity while offering postural help. Experience: u00b7 A better back support leading to diminished back pain and increased core strength u00b7 Increased blood flow and enhanced mental aptitude and an overall better cognitive ability u00b7 Expanded caloric burn (upto 20%!) u00b7 Increase in circulation and a better functioning vascular system u00b7 Lavish comfort and suitable pelvic support Move regularly, sit effectively, and utilize strong office furniture
