Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
give them options. say you want them in bed but their watching tv. you could say "ill give you choices. you cacn either get into your bed in 5 minutes, or ill have to tell your parents you were being bad". they may not like you for it. but then they'll realise you mean business and you'll have a better time babysitting.

Give them candy sweetie. And they will do whatever you want -usually.
Good Luck!
And when your not loving your babysitting job remember that new CD or outfit your saving up for! It helps motvatie!
Hope I helped Dearie!

Well first you can ask them what movie they want to watch out of all your choices but if the dont want any of those choices them persuade them that those movies were given by Superman,batman,etc. for them to watch and if they didnt watch it bat man and them will be very disappointed with them!haha.and after the watch the movie you could at least feed them cuz there stomachs must be growlin cuz that could've of been a long movie!the keep them busy with coloring,playing with there toyz,and etc!Those got to keep them buzy for a while.:)well i hoped i helped you!

find out what it is what they like to do best.An exchange for them to bahave.Or you could give them what they like to catch there interest and when there so busy doing it calmly they will stay still and not cause trouble.Or heres one last thing you can say "if you do this well do this" or somthing like that.

make it a point to them that you're the boss. don't yell but get to their level and talk to them. maybe you couldn't make a time out area. not for bad behavior but just to calm down.
i babysit triplet boys who are 2 so i know what a handful kids can be.

I would suggest talking to the parents to see how they get the kids to behave. Personally, I've found time-out works fairly well. Just make them sit in a corner with no toys and no talking for one minute for each year of age.
Kids tend to have one track minds so you need to repeat stuff quite often with them. Making it clear exactly what you want them to do will help. If they don't understand what you're trying to tell them, they'll usually just ignore it.
I would not suggest raising your voice to the kids since you want them to respect you, not be scared of you. Just sit them down and spell out the rules and consequences to them clearly so they'll understand. Then, if they do misbehave, enforce the consequences. Once they realize you're serious and no amount of whining will change your mind, they'll settle down.
Another option is to bring a piece of paper with their names written on it and a sheet of the little foil stars with you when you babysit. Tell them everytime they don't listen to you or they do something bad, they'll get a star on the paper. At the end of the night, whoever has the LEAST stars gets a reward.

well you have to show them what you can do, that you are the older one, tell their parents the bad things they did and keep them in a room or somewhere you can watch them untill they respect you, only let them play when they are good!
hope i helped!

ok, ask their parents first but i babysit to, and heres wat i do
when you get there, set the clocks back an hour...then if they start to ignore you tell them that if they're good you will let them stay up an extra hour. since the clocks were set back, they would still be going to bed on time.
it works most of the time.
make sure that after they go to bed...u put the clocks back the way they were.
<333PEACE<333
hope i helped you

I've found the best way to do things with kids that won't listen is not to give them no as a choice, like if you want them to put on a sweater say do you wanna wear the blue one or red one? so they think they're getting a choice in what they're doing but really they're jsut doing what you want them to. good luck!

Dont use your sweet voice and dont be like please just calm down you have to show them whos the boss! Raise your voice at them and kinda yell at them. They are old enough to understand it and listen to you. Keep them busy and whenever they do something wrong yell at them.

Be a little rough with them. Just pick them up off the ground, plop them in a chair, and tell them No. You need to make them respect you, and sometimes you need to show you are physically stronger first. But don't hurt them. Be sure they are okay. Just play with them, and show them who's boss.
The main thing is to gain their respect though.
Or you can kinda bribe them. Put them on time outs for bad behavior, and give them little rewards for good behaviors, like an extra 10 minutes before bedtime, or a candy, or being able to play with a cool toy.

well im good with kids so first thetin them with no tv if that dont work be stern and raise ur voice they should notice u
]
Tell them they cant do that over and over again...if that doesnt work make them go into thier rooms..and they have to stay there until you say they can come out..also let them watch a movie..it really calms em down..then they are usually tired
]
try putting them in time out and if they are crazy make a oweson up and tell them that he is like a monster and if they dont listin to you he will come out of their closet and eat them alive. sometimes you have to scare them or just talk to the parents.
