Can you give me some babysitting tips?

Question

Im going to start babysitting soon can you give me some tips and what to do and stuff?

Answer 1

If you go to my site I have a list of places you can go for ideas to make it easy on you. Just be inventive and use your imagination. If you keep it fun the kids will love whatever you do no matter what!

Answer 2

Just talk to the kids, play games that are within their age range, keep them entertained. :) Make sure you know the rules of the house, so they can't fool you there. Know when naptime/bedtime is, when snacktime is, what's acceptable for snack, stuff like that. If the child still wears a diaper, make sure you know where diapers, wipes, etc. are, and where dirty diapers go. If the kids are older, make sure you know what their limits are for tv shows and movies, and where they can play outside. Try not to let them out of your sight in the house, and don't ever let them out of your sight outside. If you have a young child that can crawl or walk and isn't contained in a fenced in play area, if you have to go to the bathroom or something, I'd take them with you.  Hope this stuff helps! :)

Answer 3

have fun with them . try bringing sumthing to do with them . kids like having sumthing other than the usual stuff they play with. be more like a friend, but make sure they no your incharge so u dont get attitude. good luck :]

Answer 4

Kids love for you to get down on the floor and play with them. Always keeps your eye on them and make sure the doors are locked so no one gets in or out. Babysitting can be a lot of fun and a great way to earn money for the first time, but remember that it is a big responsibility.

You may want to check with your local YMCA, hospital, etc. and find a class for babysitters that will teach basic first aid and give you some great ideas on how to work with kids.
