I babysit for an hour and a half everyday.
Lucky me, I get the hours when the youngest baby wants to go to sleep more.
The parents keep asking me to try and keep her awake till they come home cause if not she won't sleep at night.
I always fail and she always ends up falling asleep then the parents have trouble getting her back to sleep in the middle of the night.
So I need tips on keeping her awake. She's 8 months old. Don't just say ''Play with her'' because I keep trying but she just crys then I pick her up and she falls asleep.
Oh and I also babysit her sister who is 3 years old so anything that they could both do would be good, I don't want to leave any of them out.

I'm currently guessing that talking to the parents won't work. So, why don't you try field trips of some sort.. Walking the baby with her sister or something.. Also, you can try to find out things the baby find amusing.. You never know. I mean, to some, leaves might be totally interesting while others might get upset at it...
Like the previous poster said, babies should sleep at that age and forcing her to stay up might stifle her growth... If you really can't find a way to let her stay up, maybe you should ask some suggestions from her parents. They should know what things she might find interesting.. ^__^

Thanks :)
Don't worry I know about it not being good keeping her awake but they just want me to keep her awake till they get home and they can give her her bottle, etc.
