Short Jobs

Over the course of my years in high school, I’ve had 2 jobs that were very short lived–not due to my own fault, but just because I wasn’t needed anymore. I’ve also had one consistent summer job.

One of my short jobs was a substitute babysitting gig–10 hours a week, but it only lasted a month, since I was, after all, just substituting. If I do refer to it as “substitute babysitter”, will adcoms understand why its only a month long?

My other was 2 months of tutoring–the job started towards the end of the school year, and I wasn’t needed again the following year. Again, does it look ok that its a short time span?

Also, its possible that I may get a new tutoring job come this September. I assume I should list that separately from the previous tutoring job, rather than lumping it all into “tutoring” and putting a longer time span?
