EditTips

  • Be respectful and polite.
  • Know your limits, and what you are good at.
  • Save your money. Budget how much you will spend a day. Don't spend too much. If say you have about 5 dollars (or any currency), spend about half of it (2.50).
  • Don't argue or be rude.
  • Always be nice.

EditWarnings

  • Don't talk to strangers.
  • Only babysit for people you and your parents or legal guardian are comfortable with.
