How to talk to parents when you babysit their kids
Start or end the conversation talking about things other than babysitting.
This will help the parents get to know you better, and you can get to know what the family is like.
Talk to the parents about pay.
OPTIONS:
- You can start the conversation by asking if they would like to pay for some things, such as flowers or medicine. Make sure you make an agreement before starting your conversation, or else your parents might think that you are only dropping hints.
- This is quite awkward, so be prepared. If they're paying you $3 an hour or less, feel free to.
- Since you will probably make money in your babysitting job, pay is a good idea. However, don't just say how good your babysitting job is.
- Parents often understand just how much they are paying for babysitting. But some parents may be picky about this, and prefer to pay for kids with the parents who earn a lot of money.

OUT: This is quite awkward, so be prepared. If they're paying you $3 an hour or less, feel free to.
