Answer 1

take a class from the red cross= they give you certification which parents love, and it's really good training.

-never let the kids out of your sight

-play with them as much as possible

-make sure they stay away from hot things while you're cooking.

- know where first aid kits, flashlights, doctors numbers, and emergency supplies are kept

- ask parents about chores/homework the kids have to do and weather they want you to answer the telephone or door

- bring a bag filled with toys, coloring sheets, games, etc you think the kids would like.

-have the parents cell number

- learn how to change a diaper, how to hold/feed/put to sleep/change  a baby

-have the parents give you a schedule before they leave

- keep a lookout for dangerous items around the house, and put them away from the kids

- when kids fight, help them to work out the problem.  if it gets physical, hold them back, but don't spank them unless the parents tell you that you can.  

these are just some basics, check out a few books about babysitting from the library, and make sure to take a class.  have Fun!
