In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Ask to take care of your younger siblings while your parents are out, or volunteer to watch young cousins or the neighbor's kids. People who already trust you will be willing to help you your first babysitting experience Talk to your parents about whether you should get paid for looking after your younger siblings or relatives. You might watch them for free the first few times, then ask for a low pay rate, like $7-$9 per hour. Once you start babysitting other families, you can ask for higher rates. Ask your first "customers" to be your references when you look for other babysitting jobs. Write "Babysitting Services" or "Need a Babysitter?" in big, bold lettering. Then, write a little about yourself, like, "I love taking care of kids of all ages. Responsible, loving, and lots of experience. Ask me for references!" Include your first name and phone number on the flyer or on tear-off strips at the bottom. Don't put your last name or address on your flyers. Ask your parents or guardian to help you hang your flyers on bulletin boards at daycares, elementary schools, local coffee shops, and gyms. Remember to ask the facility before you hang anything. You can also put advertisements in local papers or church newsletters. Check the back of the publication for a contact number and call to ask about advertising prices, or ask your parents to call for you. Ask your parents or guardian to tell their friends that you're looking for babysitting work. On these websites, you can fill out a profile with your name, experience level, general location, and schedule. Message back and forth with a family for a week or so before agreeing to meet in-person. If you're under 18, make sure to ask your parents before using a babysitting website. No matter how old you are, practice basic Internet safety when using babysitting websites. Keep your personal details private until you meet with the family in person. Look online to see what classes are available in your area. They're often offered by local hospitals, YMCAs, or Red Cross branches. You probably won't have to use some of the more intense training, but it's good to know how to treat a scrape or do abdominal thrusts to help a child who's choking. If you're trained in first aid and CPR, you'll be more likely to get hired and get a higher pay rate.
Summary: Offer to take care of younger siblings, relatives, or family friends. Make flyers to advertise your services. Advertise throughout your community. Look for jobs on babysitting websites. Take first aid training to increase your chances of getting a job.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the fresh corn cobs into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices. This can be somewhat difficult, and you will need to use a heavy, sharp knife in order to accomplish the task. When cutting, lean over the knife to put more of your weight and more pressure into the cut. Just be careful not to accidentally cut yourself in the process. The corn flavor is only optional. Store-bought corn syrup does not taste like corn, so if you want something closer to the store-bought kind, skip the steps dealing with corn and use 1.25 (310 ml) of water instead of the full amount. The rest of the ingredients and steps will remain the same. Add the corn and cold water to a medium-size saucepan. Bring it to a boil. Begin with cold water for best results. As soon as the water starts to boil, drop the heat down to medium and allow the water to calm to a simmer. Let boil for roughly 30 minutes. Leave the lid off the saucepan. When finished, the water level should drop to half its original amount. Pour the water and corn through a colander. Save the corn-flavored water and return it to the saucepan. You can use the corn in other recipes or discard it. Stir the sugar and salt into the water until dissolved. Scrape the vanilla seeds out of the bean and add them to the saucepan. For an even stronger vanilla taste, add the pod to the syrup mixture, as well. If you do not have any vanilla beans, you can substitute 1 tsp (5 ml) of vanilla extract, instead. Let the mixture simmer over medium to medium-low heat until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens. The mixture should be thick enough to stick to the back of your mixing spoon when done. Let the corn syrup sit out at room temperature until the temperature of the corn syrup itself drops to room temperature. Do not cool the corn syrup in your refrigerator at this stage. You can use the corn syrup immediately, or you can refrigerate it in a sealed container for several months. Store the corn syrup with the vanilla bean. If sugar crystals start to develop over time, you can microwave the syrup with a splash of water until warm. Stir to dissolve the crystals, then use as normal.
Summary: Cut the corn into slices. Boil the corn and water over medium-high to high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer. Strain out the water. Add the sugar and salt to the corn-flavored water. Add the vanilla to the mixture. Simmer the mixture for 30 to 60 minutes. Let cool. Use immediately or let cool.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your t-shirt may get stretched out in the mask-making process but you should be able to wear it again. Your arms should not go into the t-shirt. Slide your t-shirt neckline down so that the neckline rests above your eyebrows and on the bridge of your nose. This will give your mask a more streamlined look. Folding the collar also covers the shirt tag. Tie them tightly so that the knot does not come loose later. If you are planning on wearing a full ninja costume, tuck the rest of the t-shirt into the shirt of your ninja costume.
Summary:
Take a black or dark colored T-shirt and turn it inside out. Slip the t-shirt over your head but do not pull it past your shoulders. Fold both the top and bottom collar in so that the seams are not showing. Take the sleeves and tie them behind your head. Spread the rest of the t-shirt over your shoulders.
