i dont think 13 is that young to do it! people usually get mature to babysit i guess. if ur confident that u can do it, then its all good. u have to be active while babysitting, make sure that ur doing everything that the parents told yu to, like feeding on time, make them sleep on time and all. u can play some kind of games with them that wil engage them and u as well. try to enjoy this job, it is kinda fun!
13 is a good age to babysit. many American Red Cross locations give a class that certifies you and teaches you what you need to know. this class goes into some basic first aid and things like that. most of the time at your age babysitting would be just watching the children and maybe taking them to the park (if it isn t far away) and possibly giving them dinner. most parents are very good at giving new babysitter all the information that the will need. i would suggest putting an ad in the paper after taking the class at the local ARC you will most definitely find a job.
i was going to say what your first answer from toatlstressor said. except i do not think 13 is too young. if you do the courses suggested, it shows responsibility. you might even consider letters of reference from teachers of yours. they know you pretty well and some might be willing to give a letter. of course you want letters of teachers who have kids. if you go to church, you can post an add some where in the halls or ask ppl from your church if they need your service.good luck

I don t think 13 is too young...you will be fine. What I would do is contact your locat American Red Cross and/or YMCA and see if they have a babysitting course...this will also certify you in first aid and CPR - as a mother -this is a great selling point on why I would choose you over someone who hasn t had the class or be certified in CPR. Good luck...I am sure you will be great!!
