  Today's babysitters need skills and awareness that past generations didn't. This comprehensive handbook offers sensible advice on practical matters from changing a nappy to answering the 'phone, and on such sensitive issues as dealing with an intoxicated parent and babysitting for children with chronic illness. Suggestions for games and activities, meals, bathtime and bedtime address the specific needs of infants, toddlers and older children. Appendices discuss minor mishaps and emergencies, explains how to tell which is which, and advises what to do in every case.
