If you love kids and you're looking for a part-time job, take a babysitting quiz to determine whether you can keep the children in your care, safe and happy. Watching kids can be surprisingly difficult, as you navigate meals, fights between siblings, bedtimes, and more. You want to be prepared for your own peace of mind. In addition, proving that you're a responsible and caring sitter will help you get more babysitting jobs.

The following babysitting quiz will help you think through some tricky situations babysitters often face, along with testing your knowledge on a few important safety issues.

1. The four year old you are babysitting starts crying the instant his parents leave. He just won't stop. Do you:

Tell him that you know it's scary when your parents leave, but you're going to have fun while they're gone. Then find a fun game or toy to use as a distraction.

Beg and plead in the hopes that he will stop crying.

Yell at the child to shut up. All the crying is getting on your nerves.
