Babysitting
Short-Term Care
Babysitting is temporary care, not a permanent solution like a nanny or daycare.

Can you babysit tonight? It's just for a few hours while we attend the meeting.
Trust and Responsibility
Babysitting involves great trust; parents trust sitters with their children's safety.

Babysitting requires attention; you can't just watch TV the whole time.
Age Appropriate
Babysitters are often teenagers or young adults looking for part-time work.

At 15, Emma started babysitting to earn some spending money.
