Interesting historical fact

The term “babysitter” first appeared in 1937, while the English verb to “baby-sit” first appeared in 1947. A babysitter cares for a child or baby and is a salaried job most often performed from teenage years and up.

As long as there are humans babies will be born. Like the food industry, babysitting is always available as a good business opportunity. Strangely enough babysitting has come a long way from being a Nanny. Nannies were considered simple servants who could be paid the minimum. Nowadays babysitting is just like any other business. It has become a thriving business that employs many.

The service most sought after by teenagers

Babysitting is often an easy to obtain job for teenagers seeking employment in a part-time or full-time capacity. Some even establish babysitting agencies that maintain control and management of the service in any location. A person who wants to become a nanny applies for a vacancy in the babysitter agencies, sign up and wait for an opportunity.

When the parents need the babysitting service, they notify the agency to forward a candidate. A babysitter can also offer the service independently without the help of the agency. The numbers of people, who depend on nannies to care for their children, are mostly professional career moms, and have increased considerably over the years.
