Babysitting Rules is a book about rules and advice to keep when you are babysitting. It talked about staying safe, keeping your eyes open and following the rules and many more. There is some information in the book that I never knew about, like checking on sleeping babies and young children every 20-30 minutes to see if they are crying or breathing. This book was very easy to understand and read. My favorite part in this book would be the part about staying safe and don’t answer the door even if it’s the child’s relatives. I would recommend other titles like Babysitting Activities and Babysitting Safety because safety comes first when babysitting.
