4 year old terror
Posted Saturday February 17 2007, 1:06 pm
i reciently started babysitting for a four year old girl who we'll call kim and and her 18 month old sister we'll call lynn. kim has this problem where if she doesn't get what she wants she gets really ugly. she truelly is a terror. she swears at her own family, expecially her grandma who is the nicest lady in the world. she is a total jerk to her sister and anyone who watches her or even her own family. I don't know what to do with her, we'll play games and she'll still get really angry. i need some advice on how to keep a crazy 4 year old child who can yell for hours on end accupied for a few hours while trying to care for her younger sister at the same time.

daycare drama!
Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 6:00 pm
Hi,
I am a home daycare provider. I have been taking care of a 2 year old, Mikey, for almost 2 years now. I NEVER call in sick, I am very dependable. The only time in almost 2 years I have EVER called in is when I had to be hospitalized for 3 days. And even then, I got a back-up sitter so the parents didn't have to miss work. I am cheap too. $100 a week for a 2 year old is unheard of! I am very loyal and loving to all of my daycare kids. I have grown very attached to Mikey, I love him as if he were my own.
I am a very passive person. I let people walk all over me and I know it. I never say what's on my mind, in fear that I will lose the kids or cause an argument. But in this case, I have had it!

Pervert
Posted Friday December 22 2006, 3:10 pm
I started to babysit for money. But there's this evil little kid that is very young (only 6!!) but is verrry perverted. He watches rated R movies, fastforwarding to sex scenes, and he's always trying to touch my parts. I'm 15!! How gross is that?! I told his parents about it, but they wouldn't believe me. He acts like an angel in front of them I guess. I yell at him and everything, but nothing works!!
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

love or money?
Posted Monday November 27 2006, 10:30 pm
i babysit for a baby whos parents are probly the smartest ppl in the world, and if you've ever babysat for anyone like this before, its very hard to say no. i haven't gotten to hang out with my boyfriend for a few weeks now. you know just "us" time which makes me very sad. but i'm struggling to pay for everything these days, and i'm in need of the money...i guess the question here is the love or the money?
resently they've asked me to come babysit while they go christmas shopping. for 7 hours. noon to seven. now i was planning on having that night for my bf and i but now its shortened because i said yes...
i feel horrible and don't know what to do.

Its all fun and games til someone loses an eye
Posted Thursday November 23 2006, 4:36 pm
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!
