Teen Baby Sitters?

aprilfamily's picture

We are moving to Doha next month (wow, it's wierd to say that - it's so close now!).

 

I have a daughter who is kept very busy babysitting here and she is wondering if people use teen babysitters there.  Not only does she love being with kids, but she loves the money too! 

 

We have family in the Middle East and know that many people there use maids or such to watch children when they go out.  Is it a similar situation in Doha?  Should I prepare her for disappointment from now?

Hey April ... how old is your teen? My son's baby sitter used to be 14 yrs old boy who now moving back to the UK for his study.

 

If you dont live very far from my place i dont mind to use her. My deal usually my friend dropped her son for baby sitting then i take her son back to their house. I can use the same deal with your daughter i guess. And i normally pay QR 15 an hour.

 

Drop me a PM when you get to Doha :D

April,

 

Along with what Novita said, if you will be living in a compound there are always lots of opportunities for teens to babysit.   I like it because our daughter doesn't leave the compound while babysitting and we generally know everyone she is babysitting for plus we are close incase their is a problem.

She'll be glad to know that people do use teens there.  I've seen so many requests for domestic help involving babysitting that I didn't want to get her hopes up.

 

And, Novita, I hope I didn't come across as advertising!! LOL!!  She'll be 13 when we get there (in late-March/early April), but has gone through the Red Cross's Safe Sitter program, learning CPR and all kinds of safety stuff.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure where we'll be living.  My husband is still trying to find housing for us.  I think he's looking at a couple of places in the Al Muntaza (sp?) area.

it seems you will be staying around my house area. Do drop me a PM when she is here ... i more than happy to ask her to baby sit my 6 yrs old.

 

But anywhere in Doha is not that far anyway ... so we will see. Smile

 

And i will take her home ... so you dont have to worry about how she get home.

Wow!! 

 

I'll share the good news with her.  I know she'll be happy to hear she will be able to babysit so much there.  Sometimes I think she'd rather do that than hang out with kids her own age.

 

Hubby found housing for us.  All I know is that it is near D-Ring Road and Nijmeh (sp?) Street, near a mall.  Hopefully that will be near to some of you.
