Baby sitting means to temporarily take care of a child on behalf of the child's parents. Teenagers do this to earn some extra money. In The United States Babysitters are often employed on Friday and Saturday nights when parents wish to go out. A babysitter is employed or contracted normally one night at a time. But some parents prefer to have regular babysitter called nannies. Baby sitting is an action of taking care of the baby in one room, while the parents are out or busy in another room. In United States they even have babysitters' safety course. This is a course that teaches important safety means to babysitters, which is something that needs to also be done in India too, in cases when the house maid is not available for taking care of the child.

This is 100% correct, as todays lives are very busy, INDIA should also cultivate like this type of works, in our Kakinada, we have Baby sitting institute and carers are also very good. I have my child take carer since three years , she takes care of my child more than me, i trained her as i like and she does the same as i trained.

Ah, I wish I could hire a babysitter when my child is born... It is probably not going to happen though. Thankfully, I've got my mom to help me out. I don't know what I'd do if she was not available.

Yes, many teenage girls babysit here in the US. It is a good preparation for their own motherhood in the future, too.

how I wish there would be a baby sitting course here. People hire babysitters or nannies here but I never hear a course for that. It would be really helpful, so the parents will not worry when their kids are in a nannies care.

I do want to have a babysitter one day but i'll be observant if that will be really good for my child or not. I've seen so many kids here who's been with their nannies all the time makes them really a spoiled brat.

I don't think many people baby sit in my community. Many of the families don't go a lot of places without their children. Even if I was given the opportunity to baby sit another person's child, I don't think I would do it.

I think hiring someone is a better idea then forcing someone to babysit. My mom always left me alone from the age of 12-18 (then I ditched her lol) and I think it had a negative affect on my siblings. They could probably tell that I didn't want to babysit them and I really wish my mom would have tried to hire someone or at least pay me.
