If you earned your first under-the-table paycheck watching the neighborhood kids while their parents were out to dinner - you're not alone! Babysitting for neighbors and family friends is a common first job, and you can use that experience to become a professional sitter. Children, seniors and pets are often in need of a caring companion, and if you have a great personality and a knack for getting along with others then babysitting can be a great career option.
Babysitting experience can lead to work as a childcare provider, dog groomer or at-home-care provider. Even if you don't pursue those careers, the patience and service skills you learn in the babysitting field will serve you well in almost any profession!
