ok.... a few points.

First. The people who review resumes only spend about a minute or so on each resume, and they really like it if you can help them not waste their time. That said... Get rid of your full sentences and paragraphs. The majority of info in your resume should be in bullet points, so someone skimming through the info can pick up the most important/relevant info very quickly.

Second. Don't be obsessed in filling the page. you are 17 with little job experience, and that's that. There's no shame in that. Everyone's gotta start somewhere somehow.  Just make sure that your name and contact info are very visible

Here's my suggested format:

Your name address and contact info ( keep as is)

Education: LIst high school
*Expected graduation date:
* Honor rolls made: specify year/term
* Current GPA:
*Honors/AP courses taken: (list)

Relevant Esperience:
Career class - (explain in bullet points)

Babysitter - explain briefly your work duration, time, and the ages of children you have babysat.

Miscellaneous:
In bullet points, add things about yourself that is interesting - stuff like choir, love to cook, etc

Finally add a comment in the end somewhere along the lines of "Additional references or information can be provided upon request"
