Be the Babysitter You Want to Be

                                                   


 A great way to make some of that money you have been needing is babysitting. Once you have gotten the job you have no idea what to do with littler ones. Games, games, and more games that’s all those kids want to play  through the night. For those really small ones(0-2 years) they love when you play games like peek a boo and tickle monster. The kids(2-5 years) who are starting to run around and grab everything, plop them down on the ground and try to play with only a couple toys and a time. Always remember to clean up the toys a soon as you are finished with them. What if you are babysitting kids(5-10 years) who know what they like to do and know what to do? Try to play with them, play the way they want you to. Don’t argue with them on how to play the game.

My siblings whose ages range from 1-8 all have their own way of playing. My brother is one who loves playing with you when you make him laugh that's all you have to do with him. My sister who is three loves to play activities with you where she controls the game but she also doesn't like to clean up her toys so help them out with that. My brother who is five loves video games, cars and other boy games. My sisters who are six and eight love dolls and crafts and they too like video games too.
If you are new don't start with three kids who are younger than three. But if you are getting better at the job try going for the middle age for babysitting. Four and five year old kids are good for a starters. If you are starting becoming a pro at the job try to do younger kids such as one year old and two year old kids.

Feeding the kids is really simple if you listen to what the parents want them to eat. Also don’t let them eat too much junk food.Don’t let the little kids always pick their snack. Try to give them some healthy food. Healthy food will put you on a parents good side rather than candy and junk food.

Money, that’s why you are really babysitting. You really want to make some money. To make money just think of a reasonable amount for the kid/kids you are babysitting. Don’t let them pay you not enough but don’t ask for too much.

If you are babysitting little kids and they need naps, ask when they need to nap or if they just nap when they are tired. For bedtimes when the parents have a night ask when they usually go to sleep and try to stay within a half an hour within that bedtime if they say that the kid doesn’t have a bedtime then put the kid to sleep at a reasonable time Make 9:00 the latest for most kids unless the parents wants them to stay up late so the child can sleep in the next day.

Those are some of the basics for babysitting. Most parents will have other rules for their kids. They may want them to go to bed early or don’t want them to eat any junk food. This should help you do well on your next babysitting job.
