Any tips for babysitting??
Well im 13 (female) and my mom lets me babysit my two youger sisters (4 and 2) On Friday im babysitting them in the morning 8 to 9 but then later that night im babysitting them from maybe 8 to 11. They go to bed at 9 30 and take a bath at 8 30. What are some things i can do with them so they wont be bored? And is it okay to go to sleep after they do, or should i wait until my mom gets home?

They could watch cartoons on tv or watch a movie on video. you could listen to music and they can dance why not dance with them. you could let them do an art project. you could read them a book. you could let them cut out pictures from old magazines and let them make a collage. you could also play card games with them. easter is coming up you could have a little easter egg hunt with them. you could always play dress up.

Young kids are so fun to entertain, and it is very easy to do with small activities! I babysit children of similar ages, and a favorite is always Play-Doh. It is inexpensive and even though kids have a short attention span, this seems to hold their attention as long as it is needed. You have to play WITH them, though, not just let them go. Make shapes, or suggest that they make food out of the pieces and let them "feed" you. This is perfect for their ages, although, make sure that the youngest does not eat any of it!
At night, if you want to go the extra mile, plan a "sleepover" with your sisters. Lay blankets on the floor and lay with the both of them next to you. This way, you can go to sleep before your mom gets home, and still be within your siblings' reach if they need you.
I really hope this helps, best of luck!
