Problem: Article: Spending time with your brother doing the things that he likes means he's less likely to bug you for attention when your friends are over or you're trying to do homework. Try to schedule regular time together to play, go to the park, or just color pictures together. If you have multiple younger siblings, set them up to play a game with each other. That way, they will be preoccupied with each other instead of you. If they start arguing, politely step in and remind them that they are siblings, not enemies. Play with them for a few minutes until they seem like they are friends again, then go do whatever you were going to do. You might set up a game of veterinarian with the stuffed animals, or set up a simple board game like Hi Ho Cherry-O or Shoots and Ladders. If you are trying to do something and he won't stop bothering you, ask him to draw you a picture or color a page for you in a coloring book. Make a big deal out of how much you want him to make you something, and he'll feel special while he makes it. Be sure to thank him and hang the picture up on the wall in your room, so he knows you really do appreciate it. Make sure you tell him you love him regularly. It might seem cheesy, but he needs to know that you are there for him and care about him. Try saying "Love you!" in the morning when your brother leaves for school or at night when you go into your rooms to sleep.
Summary: Try to play his favorite game with him or read his favorite book. Get your siblings to play together. Give him something to do when he is annoying you. Let your brother know you love him.

Problem: Article: Get out a small saucepan and pour in 1 ½ cups (355 ml) of juice, 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water and 1 tablespoon agar agar flakes OR 1 teaspoon agar agar powder. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients. You can use any juice except for pineapple juice. Pineapple contains enzymes that will prevent the jello from setting up. Turn the heat on to high and bring the jello mixture to a boil. Boil the mixture for 5 minutes and stir it occasionally. This will help dissolve the agar agar. Turn off the heat. If you want sweeter jello, you can stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey. Peel and slice 1 to 2 cups (175 to 350 g) of fresh fruit. Lay it in the bottom of an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) baking dish. Avoid using raw fruits that have enzymes which prevent the jello from setting up (or you can just cook them first). These fruits include:  Pineapple Kiwi Mango Fig Guava Ginger root Pawpaw Slowly pour the jello over the fruit. Put the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill the jello for 4 hours or until the jello is firm. You can slice the jello into squares and serve them immediately. Or you can use cookie cutters to make unique jello shapes. For example, you can cut stars, hearts, circles, or festive shapes.
Summary: Combine the juice, water, and agar agar. Boil and dissolve the jello mixture. Arrange fruit in the dish. Pour and chill the vegan jello.

Problem: Article: Include all your babysitting experience, work history, education, any babysitting courses you took, and any other interests or activities that show responsibility. Type the resume up and print out a few copies so that you can give it to potential clients.  You should also include at least 3 references on the resume who parents can call to verify your credibility. For example, if you babysat your younger cousins, you can put down the contact info for your aunt and uncle as references. An example of an extracurricular activity that shows additional responsibility and knowledge would be if you were or are a boy or girl scout, especially if you had any leadership role in your troop. Ensuring that you are comfortable with the age of the children you babysit is essential so that you may perform your job well. Pick an age range that you feel capable of caring for.  For instance, you may feel that infants and young children are more difficult to care for and opt to babysit older children. The average hourly rate for babysitting is around $15-$16 USD. Charge less when you are just starting out so people are more likely to hire you, then gradually increase your rates as you gain more experience. You could talk to other local babysitters and see how much they charge to help you decide what a fair price is. Make business cards with your name and phone number on them and start handing them out to people you know who have children. Make fliers advertising your services and post them on local community center boards, in local shops, or in a library.  Be sure to include ages you will babysit, your phone number, and days or hours you would be available on any fliers. If your community has any local social network pages, such as a Facebook page or Nextdoor page, you can also advertise there. Parents will typically want to meet with you or at least speak on the phone before actually hiring you to take care of their kids. Ask questions to help you understand what their kids’ needs are and answer any questions they have about you and your experience to show off your babysitting skills and knowledge.  If you are under 18, then always make sure your parents know when you are going to an interview and give them the name, phone number, and address of the potential clients, even if it’s someone you know. If the child you will be babysitting is present during the interview, make sure to interact with them so the parents can see how you get along. If you aren’t comfortable with how a certain job sounds, it’s perfectly OK to reject it. The interview process goes both ways and is about finding a good fit for everyone. Make sure to record the dates and hours of your babysitting appointments every time you get hired. You will be able to refer to them as personal reminders as well as to make sure you don’t accidentally double schedule yourself. You can also keep track of your payments in a notebook or app to do personal accounting as well as record all of the contact information for your clients and any special notes about the children you babysit.
Summary: Write a 1-page resume. Choose the age range that you want to babysit. Decide the price you will charge for babysitting. Start advertising your services. Interview with parents who want to hire you. Use a planner or app to schedule your appointments so you don’t overbook.
