Uhmm..ok, well im 13 and i have starting babysitting for neighbors & people like that for over a year. Recently my neighbor asked me to babysit for her 2 girls ages 4 and 12. Im close friends with the 12 year old, but she acts really mean to her little sister. I want to disciplne her when I'm there, but I don't want to be like bossy or anything cause after all...this girl is old enough to be a babysitter! THANKSS SOO MUCH I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A CONFUSING QUESTION!!!
