Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
if you cant handle the child you are babysitting them sit down with her mom and talk to her about the issues that are going on because you are the babysitter and the child needs to know that.

Research and study...
find out what kind of things she like and find some quiet things around the house... like a puzzle or movie...
Pick out two things and do this
(her name) you have the choice of (this game) or (this movie) and if she doesn't want either than say if you don't choose one and you are going to throw a fit then you are going to your room or sit on the step for (this many minutes) (if it is day time) or go to bed (if its night time)

i babysit all the time. i know exactally what you are going through. My best guess is that either a) she's spoiled -or-
b) she wants attention.
If she is like 5-7 yrs old, then tell her that if she doesnt straighten up, then you are going to send her to bed. and stick to it. i've had to do that a couple of times with some of the little kids that i babysit. You can put on a movie that she likes and make her some popcorn and tell her to watch the movie. There is so many things you can do. you can play with her. Pay her attention.

Trust me theres a lot of demand children out there for babysitters. what you should do is find out her favorite thing to do and then ask her if she wants to play it. most likely she will loosen up and not be as bad.

ignore her. Or threaten to tattle on her.

Dear,baby sitter Children can be demanding sometimes and it doesn't help if the Child is screaming bloody murder..remember the child itself isn't evil just the behavoir..try playing a simple game with her or plug in a video for her to watch ...depending on how the child is being raised they may just want attention weaither negitive or positive. your friend violet

Babysitting is not an easy job, meaning things are going to get tough, because children aren't robots you can turn on and off. They have needs, and sometimes not 'shutting up' is the only way she feels she can get your atttention. If things get to out of control, punish her. Don't touch her physically, but take her toys away, don't let her watch tv, ect. If this doesn't work, tell her you're going to tell her parents. Don't use this as a threat, but actually tell them. It's their kid and they know how to get her to be quiet more than anyone else out there. They'll understand and be glad that you are so concerned.

Depends on how old she is. My four year old gets that way sometimes. Just distract her with something fun. Play games, do crafts, make up dance routines. My girls love that.

I used to be in that place lol
umm try to talk to her and if that odnt work ask her what kind of games she likes and play that and if all of that dont work talk to her mom and dad they can prolly tell you whats best

You can try the following things even though I doubt half of them will be any help:
Tell her to shut up.
Get her a really long movie that isn't boring.
Threaten to call her parents.
If they have a computer, tell her to go play a computer game or something like that.
Say, "If you can beat me in the quiet game, I'll give you five dollars."
Let her listen to music on a CD player.
If I were you, I would go with the threatening to call her parents or the quiet game thing.
If you say, "(the kid's name), can you quiet down for a little while please. I have a very bad head ache." and if they don't shut up, you could walk out of the room and get the phone. In the other room, pretend to be talking into the phone to her parents and just say random stuff. Well..not as random as saying, "I LIKE SHRIMP!" But just say this,"Hi Mrs. and Mr. (Last Name). It's (your name), your babysitter." Then pause for a few seconds and continue, "(The annoying kid's name) keeps yelling through the house after I have kindly asked her to stop." and wait about 30 seconds. Then say, "Okay. I'll tell her. I'll see you soon. Bye" and go back to where you got the phone and put it down. Then walk over to the kid and say, "Your parents said that if you don't stop, you're going to be grounded for a week."
Hah. I doubt you want to do that but I bet it would work!
Good luck!

Well first of all. you have to be nice.take him/her to a near by park,bond,an then if he/she is being a brat tell them to go in the corner an they can come out when they can be good.or for how old they are..thats how many minutes they have to stand there.Well glad if i helped.sorry if i didnt.
Sincerly.

Distract her with something she likes to do. Put on a movie, cartoons, or play a game with her. Develop a reward system. Tell her everytime she's good, she gets something (lets say a sticker). And everytime she's bad, she loses a sticker. & if she gets a certain amount of stickers by the end of the night, she'll get icecream (or something kind of reward.) Those were just examples/ideas. If she gets out of hand, tell her if she's not good then you'll tell her parents.

wow can i relate to this one.
first off be nice. act like a friend. usually if the kid likes you, they'll listen to you.
if that doesn't work just ignore her and pretend you don't hear her. sometimes the only reason why they are so annoying is because they think they're entertaining you or they enjoy making you mad and making it harder. (i know cruel)
haha hope i helped
good luck =)

LoL ...Duck tape her mouth and tie her to a chair
and if shes under 5 make her watch a boring political movie...if shes over 5 make her watch barney...then make yourself something good to eat and watch a dvd in the other room.
Just playing...
You can let her watch her fav show or let her play a video game or put some headphones on and take her for a long walk to get her nice and tired. Then slip some nite quill into her koolaid..
J/p
But yeah keep her busy.
Hope I helped and cheered you up some!
