An indispensable practical guide for parents and babysitters to every aspect of child care. The Babysitter's Handbook covers every aspect of choosing a good babysitter. It is both a parent's personal guide to leave for the babysitter, and a babysitter's bible to take from house to house. A color-coded first-aid section gives clear advice on what to do in all situations a babysitter is likely to face. Plus, The Babysitter's Handbook gives insight on handling such things as tantrums and getting the kids to bed. A fill-in logbook section lets parents record essential information, and children's needs and preferences. A games and activities section gives you ways to keep children of all ages entertained for hours.
