What I Don’t Want to See in Your Babysitting Profile

Hey there! Let’s get real about babysitting profiles. I get it—you’re looking for a gig, and you might feel the need to exaggerate your love for kids. But as a parent, I want to know the truth about who I’m hiring. I don’t want to think I’m getting someone who’s all about fun and games only to find out they’re more like a character from a stoner movie.

Here’s a quick rundown of what not to put in your profile:

  1. I love to bake.
    Look, if the only thing you’ve made in my house is a dried-up lump of Play-Doh, I’m not buying it.
  2. I enjoy crafts.
    Crafting isn’t just letting my kids slap stickers on their faces and in the baby’s hair.
  3. I love outdoor adventures.
    If your idea of an adventure is hanging out in a backyard with a broken swing set and a sad sandbox, we need to talk.
  4. I’ll prepare healthy meals for your child.
    Yeah, right. You’re going to use whatever is in my fridge, which is probably a mountain of processed snacks.
  5. I really love kids.
    Who wouldn’t, when you only have to deal with them for a few hours?
  6. I’ve got ten years of experience.
    Sorry, but if you’re 15, that doesn’t cut it.
  7. Children are the future.
    Sure, but they should be cherished for more than 15 bucks an hour.
  8. I’m passionate about caring for children.
    I’m passionate about pizza, but that doesn’t mean I can make it well.
  9. I was raised around kids.
    So was everyone else; that doesn’t make you an expert.
  10. I enjoy the excitement kids bring.
    Because nothing says joy like a toddler throwing a tantrum and launching a toy horse at your head.

Let’s skip the fluff and get to the point: you need a job, and as long as you can keep my kids safe and entertained, we’ll be good.

If you want to impress me, tell me you know survival skills. That way, I’ll know you’re prepared for anything—like when the power goes out and my pets decide to make a run for it. If you can handle that chaos, then you’re my kind of sitter!

Summary

In short, be genuine in your babysitting profile! Parents want to know the truth about your skills and experience, not just a list of buzzwords. If you can keep kids safe and entertained, that’s what really matters.
