I know what its like to not have patience! I babysit too! The main thing you have to try REALLY hard not to do, is get mad or aggrivated! If they see you upset, things could get ugly!Just try and keep your cool. Kids can be rough, so prepare for the worst, but don't expect it! Anyway, just remember, when they are asleep, you get the remote for the big screen!
Good Luck!

Well, not ALL little kids are hard to take care of. It really all depends on the kids. Every kid is different. You should definately try it. If you have two younger siblings and one is around the neighbors' ages, then you should be fine. You have learned what the kids do and how to deal with it. So, again, you should just try it. And maybe if you think you won't be able to handle it alone, invite a friend over to help you out. Just make sure it's alright with the parents though. If a friend came over, you'd have to split the money. But I think it's worth it, because you never know what these kids are going to be like. Good luck

Nope, that isn't true, it all depends on the kids and how they act around people other than their parents! Babysitting two kids under the age of 10 shouldn't be that hard but maybe you can bring a few things over like some disney movies, games, etc.! Just ask them what they like to do for fun! Hope I helped! Good luck :)

Well you need 2 write down wut each kid is allergic to, there bed times, and the basic house rules. Usualy if the jid tells you somethign that goes against the parents dont trust them... hope i helped just get the besics and you should be fine.

It just depends on the kids, but seven and nine shouldn't be too hard to handle. The kids I used to babysit were around the same ages, and I never really had too many problems with them. Just keep them busy. Most young kids (that I've ever dealt with, anyway) don't like sitting still for long periods of time, so keep them busy. Oh, and I find it way easier to deal with other people's kids than the ones in your own family, lol.

your going to get sick of your yonunger siblings because you live with them. If your good with kids then go for it....i not just stay home and make something for your friends! I hate kids..hah

ok-if you think at all that there would be a point where you wouldnt watch the kids or leave them alone just to watch tv..dont do it-tell me is it better to be broke-or have a kid dead or hurt cuz you wouldnt watch it-try and fin sum10 else-like cleaning around the house for you rents or watching your own brother and sister-if you can do so ok-maybe try the kids next door--

Well, if you aren't patient, then it probably isn't a good idea. You need to be able to play with the kids and some of them are brats and you just have to handle it. 7 and 9 year olds are normally ok because they just want to watch tv or play games, but sometimes they don't listen so it's kind of hard.

I've babysat before, don't worry, the baby only got a little squashed, lol, jk, anyway, so it's not too hard, especially if you are at least 4 years older than the kids. The age difference is the key. If you're too old, then you wont wanna do what they do, but if your too young, they wont respect you, or listen to you. You also need to put safety above them liking you, because if they get hurt, you wont get asked back. I hope I helped!
