Babysitting Quiz

1. Do you like being around children?

Nope, I hate the little brats!

They are ok.

Love them to bits!

2. Do children like you and tend to gravitate towards you?

Children become shy, bratty or fearful around me.

Yes, I'm always surrounded by children wanting to play or talk with me.

Children tend to do their own thing when I'm in the room.

3. Do you have First Aid and CPR training?

No, if something happens I will just cope with it. CPR only works in the movies.

Yes.

I know I should do it sometime. I've watched a CPR demonstration and should be able to do it.

4. How do you deal with a difficult child?

Try to figure out what the real problem is and how to fix it. Talk to the parents, calm the situation.

I'm never sure what to do but will try to calm the child by distracting him with food, toys or sleep.

Tell him to shut up and go away. Ignore him.

5. Would you ever leave a child alone to quickly go and do something else? (like preparing a snack?)

Yes, but I will check on the child every few minutes.

Sure, why not? The brat will yell if anything is wrong.

Never!

6. Are you comfortable with changing a nappy?

Are you crazy?!

Yes.

Yes, but hoping it will not happen on my watch.

7. Have you ever let a child eat anything else beside the food that his parents provided for him?

No, I stick to what his parents supplied.

I sometimes let him eat some of my food - nothing that is bad for him.

I'll give him anything as long as he just shut up!

8. Do you believe in physical punishment?

Yeah, bring it on, baby!

No, there are many other ways to discipline a child.

Not sure.
