[quote=Anonymous]I think that some of it is age, some of it is a combination of age and gender, and some of it is not being known by the parents and the kids. As more parents get to know and trust him, this might change. Many parents quite prudently start with younger babysitters by having them watch the kids while the parents are at home. I’d encourage him to join community activities, and consider working part time in a camp or after school program — so that he can become both known and trusted by more parents. He might also market his skills as someone who can be available during school breaks — if that is, indeed the case. I think parents of older boys might be delighted to find a male babysitter, although is youth will likely continue to be a factor. [/quote]
