List Babysitting/Personal Assistant on Resume?

ChapmanEC

I have worked babysitting and served as personal assistant for 10-20 hrs a week all through college (in addition to another PT job for first 2 years).

Should/ how should I list this on my resume?

Thanks!

Yes, you should list it. It shows how you spent your time. Schools will look kindly on people who worked during college.

Put it down like you would any other job. State your time commitment and responsibilities. Describe what you did in a succinct and straightforward way.

Thanks! I'll do that.

Don’t list baby sitting as a “job” if you were paid under the table. ie if someone just handed you cash and you didn’t pay taxes on it. If you want to include it maybe just list “childcare” in your interests.

Don't worry, I pay taxes on all taxable income! That's a good thing to consider, though, since a lot of sitters don't...

I'd list it for the sake of showing that you were working through college. I wouldn't try to make it sound like anything more than it was though. Be sure to include the hours you worked!
