Babysitting
Before an evening of babysitting, ask the parent about the children's routine and agree on the care you'll provide. These guides cover what to ask and how to explain the experience you bring.
A game and a bedtime story look different in every home. Describe the time you've spent with children, what you did and whether a parent was there. Family experience can be relevant when you explain the setting. Keep it distinct from professional training or responsibility you haven't held.
Ask the parent or guardian who will be home, what the evening involves and who hands over responsibility at each end. Agree on how you'll stay in touch and what to do about a delay or change. Speak up if part of the care is beyond your experience. Resolve that before agreeing, rather than waiting until the parent is leaving.
The guide to babysitting in Tel Aviv covers experience, introductions and the care you'll provide. Start with the question you have now, whether it's what to ask a parent or what to put in your description. Before accepting, check that you have the experience for the care the children need.
School pickup, transport and care requiring specialist knowledge are outside the guide. Keep the family's information private. You can describe the help you've given without publishing children's names, photos or home-access details.
After school pickup help starts when the parent tells the kindergarten and authorizes you the way it asks. Meet the child first, agree the route and who's home, and know what to do if plans change.
Before a first evening of babysitting, tell the parent about your experience and ask about the children's routine. Agree on the care, contact details and handover before you say yes.
Think about how to describe your experience and what to ask about the routine, care and contact details. Include how you'll meet the children and who hands over responsibility at the start and end.
Pickup and transport need separate arrangements and are outside the guide. Before offering either through Tadam, ask the team whether it is supported and what is required.
Ask Tadam about the age and experience requirements, then check each request against the care needed. Offers will start at launch, with Tel Aviv first.
