What does a babysitter have to do?

Well, a babysitter must be a responsible teenager or adult. The babysitter should be able to take care of the children, put them to sleep, change their diapers, get them to stay in their freaking beds and not come out every five seconds...

Knowing CPR and the Heimlich maneuver is probably a good idea. Knowing the parents' numbers and emergency numbers are probably more important.

When the kids are asleep, take advantage of the house's TV and computer (only if you asked permission!) Feel free to eat their food.

As to getting paid? Don't let yourself be taken advantage of. You should be paid 7-10 dollars an hour. More if the kids are under two.
