Hi,
I have a 2 year old nephew. What you need to do is act like them. With me I will act like I'm ignoring hiim and he will be like "Neikiiiii!!!" and come up and look at me and when he does I'll turn real fast and go "Boo!" and he really likes it. You just need to play with them. Play with their toys. Give them funny little voices that they might think is funny. Bring them things occasonally.
Also if your planning on babysitting late. Say it's 10 o-clock at night and it's their bed time but the refuse to go to bed! Set the clocks 2 hours up when their not looking and make them think you have let them stay up late. That works like a charm!

Well, always be nice. Don't be mean about bedtime.. hah, that's a biggy. And just do simple stuff: Play games, give them special treats/snacks, act interested in their toys.. the basics. It's not too hard to win a kid's heart so they're bound to like you.
--Good luck!!

Well the kids I babysit do this to me. All you have to do is when you babysit, ask them what THEY want to do. If you are controlling and just do what YOU want to do, they will think you're bossy and mean. So let them have a say in some things.
For example, if I am getting a drink or something, they ask me if they can pour it in the cup. And I will say yes. There's no reason that you should say no.
Also, you may not pay enough attention to them. You have to let them know that you are willing to watch them play. Or listen to them sing or talk. Not just sit there and watch TV. If they want to watch TV, let THEM choose the channel. If they wanna watch Disney, let them.

I have never really babysitted for anyone just helping with my brother and as my cousins always say..."No harm breaking the rules sometimes". I mean not go on a sugar high or anything but if they have to sleep by 8...let them go a little later and i'm sure they will appreciate it.

hey, that is the best part of babysitting besides after the kids go to bed lol... for the kids i babysit i bring fun movies or books that i know they will like so that they can guess what i brought in my bag of "fun". also ask the parents if you can make sundays or a special treat... sometimes i let the kids make banana plits and making them is sometimes even more fun then eating them. lastly always have high enthusism and try games they want to play whether its dress up or legos. i hope this helped!
hearts,

smile a lot, don't be mean, don't lose your temper, and don't ignore them. if you actually play with them, and do what they want to do, then they will like you and want you to babysit again.

Let them stay up just a little bit longer and play with them. Kids LOVE it when they have a babysitter that makes them feel grown up. However, don't go too far, you don't want to make their parents mad. You have to be fun with them but at the same time responsible.

dont make them feel like youre their parent, be a little leaniant but also make sure you stay mature and dont let them take control. find something they like to do, and also share something new with them. hope i helped

find out what they like to do bring it over and soon if you keep babysitting for them then maybe they will soon like you!!!

Well whenever you're babysitting them- don't make them mad. Play with them and do the things they want you to do- just make sure nothing gets out of hand or anything. Fix them snacks often whenever they're hungry. Treat them good and that will happen quickly.
Let me know if I helped or not!

Don't be too strict, but don't be too loose. When you are there, play with them, don't just sit there and watch movies or television. Do puzzles, play board games, and no matter how much you hate the particular board game, PLAY IT! If they want to play hide and seek then say yes, BUT set some boundaries. Stuff like that. Be friends with the kids, don't be their parents, they already have some of those. Have fun, if they have a fenced in yard then let them play outside, watch them of course, but let them have some fun. You are there to make sure no harm comes to them when their parents aren't home and if they do get hurt then you are there to make sure everything is okay in the end. So play, have fun, it's another chance for you to be a kid, and doesn't every teenager just want to go back to those days again?!

Be nice to them. Still keep them under control but dont yell at them.

Be friends with them, rather than try to control them.

Treat them nicely.

Play games with them whenever you are there. Be extra nice to them and pretty much give them whatever they want. Make it fun for them and don't yell.
