Pay recommendations:

High school $10-$12 hour 14 - 18 years

college /adult $12-$15 18 - up years adult

While many private and public schools do require school uniforms, many do not. But that doesn't mean anything goes. For the most part, schools ask the students follow the general guidelines below.

We ask the same of our sitters:

Avoid clothing with vulgar words, sayings or illustrations. Avoid skirts or shorts that are short enough to reveal buttiocks when playing with children or engaging in activities. Avoid clothing that is too tight or sexually suggestive clothing worn in such a manner so as to reveal underwear, cleavage.

I have answered the above questions truthfully and to the best of my ability. I have read and understand the Lamorinda Babysitting Rules to the right of the form. I would like to be considered to be listed as local sitter with Lamorinda Babysitters. *

Babysitter Rules:

1. Never leave a child alone.

2. Be sure to get the parents permission for anything you are unsure of.

3. Never put a child in a car without parent authorization. Make sure to abide by all seatbelt and child seat laws. All Children under the age of 8 must be in a car seat. All children must sit in the back of the car until age 12. You are the one that will pay the price with traffic ticket not the parents or the children.

4. Many children at this age will test your boundaries. As soon as you let them take advantage of you "being nice" they know they can convince you to "break the rules".

5. FInal impression: Clean up with the kids. Make sure all toys and activities used during babysitting are put away properly so the parents don't come home to a mess. This means a lot to a busy parent.

6. Ask the parents 3 activities that the kids like to do.

Find out what things need to be done while the parents are out. (Homework, music practice, shower, eating, clean room, fold laundry).

7. We ask that all families (clients) book you through the company. If a clients calls you ask them to book through the website and ask for you. The clients pay us a finders fee directly when we book you for each babysitting job. This way if you are not available we can get them a back up sitter. This is why our company was started. It's hard for busy parents to take the time to call everyone they know to find a sitter.

If you keep your bookings through us it will not cost you anything but you will stay on our call sheet as a Lamorinda Babysitter. If you make the choice to take return babysitting jobs from our clients without our services you will be removed from our call sheet for all families babysitting needs.
