this is a tough 1! but it is reallyhow you feekl bout it! like i know you said the kids are getting out of control but if you like babysitting i would sugest telling the famil that you babysit foer that it is getting really hard to get the kids to coroporate, ahnd then try switchin to a family thst olni has 1 kid and that is not real young! however if you dont,klike it anymore just simply twell the family that you have to many things going on in your life and you dont have time to babysit! the family should understand!

i really hope i helped you!!!
goold luck!

I always tell the kids that I am going to tell their parents that they were bad - then they stop. <3 Steph

This one is simple, lol first off try making them go to their room with no tv or any toys like that and if it continues then try the corner, just w/e u do don't threaten them because if they tell their mom that makes u look bad. if that doesn't stop them then tell their parents how they have been acting and most likely the parents will take care of that problem for you, because they don't want to loose a good babysitter!
hope i helped :)

Fake a phone call to mom and dad. If it gets out of hand,really call them.

i think you should tell their parents and then the parents can punish them (sometimes if you try to punish the kids yourself then they'll just complain to their parents about you instead of listening)...after you've proved that you aren't afraid to talk to the parents then you can use that against the kids "i'm gonna tell mom and dad you weren't behaving if you don't listen to me"

applescruff answered Thursday August 5 2004, 11:32 am:
Keep track of the activities you know they like doing and don't involve too much rowdiness. You could bring a bag with little toys and games in it when you go, so when they start getting a little out of hand you take that out. Kids often like playing with things that don't belong to them, because new toys are always fun. When they get out of control though, remember you have to take charge. Be firm with them. If they see you mean business from the start they'll be more reluctant to mess with you.

Funny thing is, I'm babysitting right now. Well you seem like you have a lot of experience. Maybe you should just try going back, and babysitting kids you know that aren't that "crazy". Then see how you do, then challenge yourself with 'harder' kids. Maybe that will be a little easier. Good luck!

Tell the people who can do something about it..their parent's. And if the little ones are getting out of control and trying to be definate, take away things when they're bad..and when they're good..give it back. Make a system like that out, it works.

i guess you have to just show them that you're the boss. i don't mean yell at them, but u can't let them run around and do whatever they want. bring games or coloring books to try and keep them occupied.
