There are many things you need to know about babysitting including knowing the employer before you take the job, name, address and phone number of employer, location and phone # to be reached in case of an emergency, locations and instructions on use of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, first aid supplies, and alternate person to contact for emergency if employer cannot be reached.
Also (in my experiences) I strongly recommend that you have emergency numbers and note taking materials by the telephone for convenience and easy access in case of an emergency.
Good Luck Babysitting!!! :)
