What to Expect Baby-Sitter's Handbook

Likeable

This is a great book for parents/sitters. It is very easy to read, has lots of great info and is perfect to have on hand. Plus, there are sections for the parents to fill in personalized info for their child(ren). The handbook sections age groups within each catagory so you don't have to read about ages that are not applicable. I think this is a MUST for every parent leaving their kid(s) with a sitter.

This is a good book! I have read other babysitting books and I have to say that this isn't my favorite. I do like how it was very informative and covered a wide range of topics. I also think it was easy to read and I liked the layout of the pages. My only real issue with it was that it isn't really a book for beginning babysitters. I doubt that parents will ever want the girl next door to be dropping their children off at play dates and such. In my opinion it was more focused towards being a nanny(which it does say in the description that it was for both nannies and babysitters). On the other hand, this book covered topics that I haven't seen in other books that I've read such as bathing the baby and how to make fun things to play with. I actually ended up buying the book anyways because it was so enjoyable to read. So, yes, this book is good, and I would probably recommend it to someone else. I just think it was for more experienced babysitters and nannies than beginning ones.

I am a full time nanny and I love this book. Even if you just use a babysitter every once in a while this is a great book to have and give to the sitter while they are there. It has many pages where you can fill in all your child's info and likes. I just found it this year but I plan I giving one to every family I work for.

This will sure be a hit with my team daughter who is excited to be babysitting however I wanted her to know the inns and outs and crucial situations that may occur this will be a gift for Christmas

Odd book in my opinion -- and a bit outdated.

Great book, great information !

Very very basic. Not very informative at all.

excellent

Probably a good resource, but realisticly too much work for the parent and the sitter probably will not have a chance to sit down and read it anyways.

Useful but very text heavy and the book feels dated.
