It is a New Year! Have you made goals for 2012? Post some of your goals- we’d love to hear what you have planned for 2012.
With the New Year comes new opportunities, new ideas, new babysitting jobs, and so much more! When New Year’s Even come around- it is time for reflecting the past year and getting ready for the year to come. Try setting goals for the next year and work each week to achieve those goal. Success doesn’t happen overnight. To reach goal- it takes time and persistence.
First, set some long-term goals for the year. Next, set a few short-term goals that will help to achieve the long-term goals you have set. It is good to set short-term goals or “steps” to help achieve the long-term goals. Setting short-term goals will help make achieving your long-term goals look less monstrous.
As babysitters, it is fun to set goals for each babysitting event. While sitting for a family- you can set goals for the day, just like a day schedule. Setting a schedule for the day helps keep everyone keep the same goals in mind. Have the children help set the “goals” or day schedule so that they feel that they have part in the activities they do. You can even have the children draw pictures for each item on the schedule-show what activities and meal times they will have.
Hope each of you have a fabulous 2012! Set some long-term goals for yourself and don’t forget to post them for us!
