Don't just sit around. Get involved with your charges' games, songs or crafts.
Be polite on the phone and on the job. It helps make a good impression.
Keep a notebook in which you record the children's names and ages, and specific directions about their care. Jot down numbers where you can reach the parents if there's an emergency.
If you don't love kids, find another way to pad your pocket. To do a good job, you need to enjoy being around children. - (HealthDayNews)
