Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Ok, well first of all, kids WILL be kids. They won't respect you unless you come across as an authority figure, and a nine year old to most baby-sat kids is like a friend or a sibling. Which means they won't automatically respect you. You should also know that kids don't like being told "Go to bed." they need to hear, "Ok Timmy, we're going to clean up our toys, and after, I'm gonna read you a bed-time story!" Also if the kids get into an arguement, you should holding "Mad Face" staring contests. The first one to giggle gets a cookie, or five extra minutes to play with their favorite toy before you put them to sleep. If the kids really don't get along with you, tell their parents. Just say, "I'm sorry but I don't think that baby-sitting Ashley and Timmy is gonna work out." But give them notice! You can always ask your parents for help, too. And if you really enjoy baby-sitting, take a baby-sitting camp at YMCA or something. Good luck!

Baby sitting huh??
well i remember when i first started, wasnt that easy also. But you learn from your mistakes, and sitting down and talking to them is not going to help sorry to say. But mabye the best way is to bring up something fun to do like playing a game, or watching a favorite t.v. show or something like that. Cause when u r babysiting it is not all about what u want to do its about keeping the kids occupied untill they fall asleep. hehehhe
hope this helped
