babysitting like a pro

Maybe you want more cash flow in your life. Maybe your schedule's too irregular for a part-time job. Is babysitting the answer? Perhaps not for everybody, but it is an easy, flexible way to make some decent change--and if you like hanging out with the rugrats, you've got it made! But before you start hanging up flyers at the supermarket, stop by the University of Illinois' Guide to the Business of Babysitting. Sounds a little cheesy, I know, but there's actually some pretty useful stuff here--like info on how to take care of babies and toddlers, how to deal if the parents come home a little too tipsy to give you a ride, how to deal with spoiled kids, and more. It's worth a surf-by; after all, the more professional you are, the more you can charge, right?
