replies: text: I've never heard the term babysitting used to refer to looking after intoxicated persons, but I have heard the term used to refer to supervising things and people, for example the term is sometimes used to describe watching over equipment which needs frequent tending, or to supervising employees who can't be trusted not to screw up a task.--RLent 20:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The Tufts University Child and Family WebGuide is a good babysitting resource.
http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/topic/2/147.htm
The WebGuide is a directory that evaluates, describes and provides links to hundreds of sites containing child development research and practical advice. The WebGuide, a not-for-profit resource, was based on parent and professional feedback, as well as support from such noted child development experts as David Elkind, Edward Zigler, and the late Fred Rogers. Topics cover all ages, from early child development through adolescence.  The WebGuide selects sites that have the highest quality child development research and that are parent friendly.
The child care page of the site offers a wealth of early childhood education and preschool resource such as articles, research and practical advice for parents and professionals. These websites provide cost/benefit analyses and information on evaluating early childhood programs, information about child care, the transition to kindergarten and much more.

message: The reference to crime by babysitters makes it clear that this includes "family daycare operators", which would be called "child minders" in the UK. In general an adult looking after a child for substantial portions of the day, especially when the child is awake for most of the time, would be called a child minder in the UK. If this generally described as babysitting in the US (which I believe it is) then I think we should clarify this. Rachel Pearce (talk) 15:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Child minding 

message: The section under the heading "Crime" doesn't make any sense: "According to a Juvenile Justice Bulletin from September 2001, babysitters commit about 4.2% of crimes against children even though a 13 year old is leagally allowed to babysit crimes are commited. less than 6 years old in the United States." It would be good if someone could clarify this passage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blairgoss (talk • contribs) 04:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: If the term "baby-sit" first appeared in 1937, then how did the use of "sit" as an abbreviation for the term appear in 1800? An abbreviation cannot exist before the term it abbreviates. In any case these "facts" are not cited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.210.84.87 (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
