Taking responsibility for young children is not an easy job. If you have children of your own, you already know that. If you don’t have kids, sit down and talk with someone who does. Make sure you are emotionally, physically, and mentally up to the task. Decide whether you are willing to accept the additional responsibilities and demands of taking care of an infant or whether you prefer to accept only children who are old enough to attend school. Some children may require special medical care or have physical disabilities or other special needs; be sure you understand the situation and decide whether you are capable of caring for them. You’re not discriminating against them if you feel you are not able to give them the help they need.
It may be possible to take this sort of job while maintaining a full-time or part-time job elsewhere, although you will need the same sort of flexibility that any parent requires, including being on call for emergencies for your surrogate family. One good career mix: a school teacher who will work more or less the same hours as his or her young charges. Will you be expected to use your own car, or will the owner provide permission to use a family car? If so, you should obtain written permission to use the vehicle. Ask about insurance coverage and the registration.
So, when you serve this kind of job to another people or your customers, you can serve the best, because you are safe from another problem.
