When deciding to become a babysitter, you need to determine whether or not you are ready and responsible enough to tend to children. You must ask yourself questions such as, "How many children can I handle at one time?", "Can I handle babies and young children?", "Have I been trained to care for small children?", "Do I know how to perform CPR?", "Do I know how to properly tend to an accident, needing a first aid kit?"
