okay well i'm 14/f and i babysit for my neighbors who have two girls who are 4 & 2. now thats its summer and i don't have school, i've been babysitting A LOT. it feels like they are overworking me! i'm always so stressed out when i have to go there. the girls can not share togother and then it ends up with the youngest girl crying. and when she crys she SCREAMS! i can't stand it. i'm always babysitting for hours and they are always late when they come home. they also aren't very considerate about me missing meals. like they will have me work from 4-7 and that is like right in the middle of when i would eat dinner, and all they have at their house is junk food. like over the weekend i was babysitting from 9:30 - 3:30. also i'm always worrying that the dad will get mad at me if one of the kids falls asleep. i mean they pay me good ( 8 dollars and hour ), and the kids love me, but i always stress out about going over there.
i don't want to stop babysitting for them, because that would also leave them without a babysitter. but i need ways to help me not stress out as much about babysitting. like this week they only told me that they will need me to babysit thursday from 5-6, but then today i saw the mom and she said that their oldest daughter who is 16 will be going on vacation this whole week and that they will need me to babysit tuesday, thursday, and friday from 9-1! omg and i'm already stressing out about it! HELP!!
well,
ask them some questions about babysitting. if you don't feel comfortable ask your mom to ask them . ask simple ones like what time will they need to go to bed or should they....... bring a meal with you wrapped in plastic wrap. set it on the counter and wait til you get hungry. you can warm it up. i really dont think that they would mind if you do that. if the two little ones dont share then put them in different parts of the room and play a game like who can guess what this is or one of them draws a girrafe and another draws a zebra. print out coloring sheets from the computer. i would recomend google. they have nice sheets. just type in coloring sheets or disney world or looney toons and pics will come up of them. while they are coloring bring a good book with oyu!! Best of luck!

im 14/f and i only have like 1 or 2 families that i babysit for like once every 2 months
how do i get more jobs?
well if you would like some experience then ask someone who has either went to babysitting training or has babysat alot. if there are no kids in your area then type a papagraph on how you would be a good babysitter etc. write you # at the bottom going horizontal and cut little slits nex to each one of them that way ppl can just rip your # off and put it in their purse or wallet. ask oyur mom or one of her friends who works at a busy work or not. they can tak it up on the buliton board and ppl will pass by and see it. good luck!!

Well...im babysitting tomorrow...and i usually babysit a little boy and girl...but i found out that its just gonna be the girl this time.
Shes in 1st grade and is a normal little girl who likes her barbies but still has that boyish edge bc she plays with her older brother a lot.
I was just wandering if any of you had some games that youve played with your "babysit-ees"..or anything crafty to do. The only thing is..her mom is a neat freak so i CANNOT make a mess. We've already played the normal hide-and-seek..tag...kickball games a billion times though..so im looking for maybe a creative edge to the answers..
Hope im not asking too much :-)
Thanks in advance!
go on abcteach.com they have a catagory for babysitting. Best of luck!!
