I'm Afraid To Babysit Again!
The other day I was babysitting with my cousin, and one of the kids ran out of the house and we lost him for a while! We were so scared and the child's mother was very angry with us. Luckily, we found him. I just was asked to babysit my mom's friend's kids, but I'm really scared that I'll lose the kid again! HELP!

Don't be scared to babysit again.
Maybe for the next few jobs you get, you could just stay in the house with the kids.
You could find board games or coloring books to entertain them for a while.
And just let them know that they are not to go outside.
If you do happen to go outside, make sure you keep your eye on them at all times.
I hope this helped!

I don't think you should be scared to babysit anymore. Next time just set some better boundaries like make sure that they don't get outside of the house. You just know now to keep a better eye on the kids when you are babysitting. If anything this is a good thing because you have learned from your mistake and you could be a better babysitter because of it. Hope i helped.

well you should make sure to have the kids busy with something so they dont just leave. and a good idea would be to keep all doors locked and maybe keep them in one room where you can see what they're up to. you know thy could break something or fall over or something so just make sure your watching them at all times. better yet rent a movie and watch it with them. that way everyone is entertained and safe.

Although his mother has the right to be upset with you, it's partly not your fault. You can't control someone from getting up & going away. Kids usually tend to do things like that & just do dumb things. She should also be upset with her son for doing that. It's not all your fault.
Basically, just chill out. It probably won't happen again. Just keep the doors locked, don't let anybody you don't know into the house & make sure the kids are having fun. Keep your eye on them as well.

what you need to do is play games with the kid. liek keep him entertained board games, play teacher with him but not hide and sek, play basically any fun games with him. also, try a coloring book. tell him if he behaves bad youll tell his mok or something. tell him scary stories or funny ones. basically jsut keep him entertained! hope i helped
