how to cancel ....
okay ... you see lately my mom has been getting me all these babysitting jobs that i really dont want. i've asked her to stop and she has, but one mother wants my to babysit on a regular basis! she has three kids(2, 4 and 6) and i really cannot handle them. the middle child is pretty good, but the 2 year old cries a lot and the 6 year old is always being mean to the middle one and i cant take it! can someone please help me find a way to tell the mother i cant babysit for her regularly. thanks so much!

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
tell the mother that you just can't handle her kids. she will probably understand, because chances are they are like that to her too. tell her that maybe she needs an older, more experienced person to watch her kids

Hello there,
I would tell her the truth. When she leaves them with you, she probably tells them to mind you. Well the oldest one obviously isn't minding. Maybe she will actually make some consequences for them if they aren't good for you.
A good babysitter is hard to find. You chase one away and your parents will be very upset with you. I know I chased a few off when I was younger.
If the situation is such that you wouldn't want to babysit them even if they were all good, then tell her that three kids are just too many to handle by yourself. She will understand. She probably feels the same way. ;-)

Say, no.

Just tell her you babysit for a lot of people and don't want to loose those jobs by concentrating on one family. :)

Think about the days when you would be prepared to babysit - be it once or twice a week. Call the lady up and give her the dates you are available so she can't ask you to do more. If you say yes to her all the time she will probably take advantage of the fact you are always free and probably ask you to babysit more - Good luck!

You should tell her you don't think you can handle three kids because if you don't tell her a reason she might ask you and then you'll have to make something up lol.
It'll be easier telling her that it's cause you can't handle it.
I'm sure she'll understand =]
Good luck

Tell your mom the truth and talk to this mom who wants you to babysit regularly. Tell them there is too much on your plate as it is with school and that you simply cannot handle all of this and keep your grades up....they should go for it!
Hope I hepled you!

Just explain to the mother the situation. Tell her that you can't control her kids. Also make sure that you recomend someone else. If your gonna cancel, don't leave her in the dust. Make sure you just tell her the truth. Be nice about it though. If this were me that's what I would do.

you should recommend someone you know to alernate with since this is obviously and awful position to be in. lemme know you need actual things to say <3

Just tell the mother that you have got to much going on in your life at the moment and have no spare time to do a job like babysitting on a regular basis, maybe you could comparmise and tell her you could occasionaly babysit for her children sometimes when she goes out etc. But doing it full time is not possible for you at the moment. Hope this helped and good luck when telling her. Tell me how it went by emailing me or on my feedback.

Just say to her that you have alot to deal with right now with school and stuff and you really need to concentrate on them and you would love to babysit for her,but you just don't have the time and you hope she understands. Hope this helps!

I think the way to tell the mother is just to be honest with her and tell her that you like babysitting(even though you don't really), but you need a break from time to time. Or you could say that you already have plans the night she wants you to babysit. Hope i helped!

Tell her that you have a really busy life with school and all and babysitting on daily basis is to stressful and frusterating. She will understand. Also, tell her how the kids behave for you and how that doesn't help your stress level! Good luck.
