Is babysitting the right thing for me now ? Read description...?

2018-09-22 10:10 pm
I’m a 20 year old who hasn’t had a real job in her life . Once I graduated high school in 2016 I started to apply to different places to work but nothing really worked out .Around July 2017, a person I know from church had her baby boy and she needed help to babysit since she does house cleaning and needed the money to pay bills for herself. So she asked me if I could babysit her baby for $25 a day at first . But then 5 months passed by and I left for a trip with my family and during the trip I asked her through text if she could pay me more than $25 but she said only $30 and nothing more than that, and I was fine with that. But around January this year she started to take advantage, she would leave me with her kid almost 12 hours a day . I honestly hated it . Yes I got a certain amount where I’m able to save up and buy my stuff but it’s not worth staying a whole day with a kid for a little amount of money. So I was wondering if I should continue with her ?this November I will be leaving to pickup my grandma in New York and I want to spend my time with my grandma and not worry about babysitting. I honestly will be taking a whole month off but I don’t think that the kids mom will want me to miss out since she has to work every day .But she has other people. My point is that if I take the amount of time off the kid will no longer recognize me and she will basically take the whole gig away from me .Should I leave the job and find something else or stay there and earn nothing.

I’d give notice of your last day and that you will not be returning. When your ready to return to work start searching for a REAL job. At 20, with no history of working except babysitting you may find it difficult to land a job but keep trying.

Find a proper job with proper pay. Even if that proper job is flipping burgers 8 hours a day. It would be a start and a stepping stone onto something better.

Now that you have experience as a nanny, you could apply for a job as an assistant in a child care center. At least you'd make minimum wage and get a lunch break.

Give your 2 weeks notice.
Start applying for entry level jobs.
You should consider going to college or a trade school.

Not if you really hate it. You will never keep a job just from your wanting a month off here and a week off there. You need to get out in the real world and get a steady JOB at 20 years old OR find another family to care for the child/children under the title Nanny and then you will also need further education and will start out low with NO EXPERIENCE!

Leave that baby-sitting job and get a real job, any job, somewhere else. You're making only $30 a day for a 12-hour day. Even if you work 7 days a week, you're only making $210 every week (assuming she pays you). You can make more than that working behind the counter at MacDonald's.

Do you have any skills? An employer wants you to be able to perform some tasks without a lot of further training. Every entry level job includes some training, but they can't possibly teach you all life skills. Since you're going to be leaving for a month an employer would be reluctant to hire you. Stay with the gig until you leave, but make sure you tell her in plenty of time for her to find someone else. During the month you have off, brush up your application skills. I'm guessing you don't present yourself very confidently and that your applications may have mistakes. There are lots of articles on the internet that can give you advice on how to properly submit an application and/or resume, how to follow up, and how to present yourself at the interview. If you're not interested in further education, you need to get a move on getting a real job.

Stop using the word "honestly". It does not fit in any of your sentences.
If you think a child over 1 years old is not going to recognize someone that they see everyday and then don't for month, you should not be taking care of the child. You clearly are not providing the child the development that the child needs.

Find a real job now.

Tell her now and give her time to find someone else. You're not happy and obviously you don't really need the money.
