I have to babysit for a 2, 4, and 7 year old in an hour--help!!! What should i expect?

Question

are 2 year old's even potty trained or do most of them still wear diapers?

Answer 1

CHILLLAXXXXXXXXXX. lol. Okay, I just came home from babysitting. Alright, find out things they each like to do. Movies, T.V., board games, if they like to place house with baby dolls (if any are girls) or trucks or trains (for boys) and snacks they are ALLOWED to have. The 2 year old may need help with the whole bathroom thing...just ask the mom. Have them color, take them to the park, play in the sprinkler (if it isnt cold or dark), take them for a walk around the neighborhood.....Just find things they like. It may seem overwhelming, but just keep them entertained. They're young, so do things they like to do, but try your best to keep them all happy. Good luck!=]

Answer 2

it depends some do, but there not that hard 2 babby sit

Answer 3

if you are in the uk, peace and quiet as they should all be in bed!

else, you will be putting the 2 yo to bed, clean diaper, story, milk,

then putting the 4 yo to bed, maybe night time diaper, story, i want my mummy, i need a drink, i heard a noise...

then you might get a few mins with the 7 yo, before bed....

it might have been worth spending a couple of afternoons getting to know these kids before hand.

Answer 4

Most 2 yo are not potty trained.  The 7 and 4 year olds should be relatively self sufficient.  They will know what to do.  If they give you trouble or are uncooperative, you can always bribe them with treats.  Kids are good that way.

Answer 5

-keep the 2 year old satisfied and you'll do fine

-u should ask the mom about the diper thing

Answer 6

depends on the parents, and the kid. Mostly no, they are still in diapers. You  are in for some fun if you are up to it..a lot of running around..please dont expect to sit in front of a TV..be responsible and keep those kids safe ! Good luck and have fun !

Answer 7

a headache, running screaming, i want this i want that i dont want to go to sleep, the diaper needs changing, that one is hungry that one wont eat, the phone is ringing, food is burned in the oven, he hit me, come play wit me, someones at the door............But it will be an experience that u will never forget

Answer 8

some are and some arent potty trained depends on the child. You should expect a little bit of chaos. The 7 year old might be helpful if you ask her to help, some 4 year olds are wild, some are calm and 2year old are all generally a little busy! Good luck and have fun

Answer 9

expect to be on the go all the time with them and do try to play some games that they all can participate in. maybe go fish but don't think they will be able to play by the rules. it will teach letters, numbers and matching and how to share. orr watch a movie that is age appropriate. expect to change diapers. don't you know already if the 2 yr old wears diapers. you should have already checked that out.

Answer 10

Alot of work.  Play board games with them, or get out the paper and pens and let them draw.  Let them make a tent out of chairs and blankets and let them play under the tent. The 2 year old may or may not be potty trained. I would watch the two year old if they are being potty trained ask them every 30 min. if they need to go potty.   If you have UNO cards the 7 year old and 4 year may love those.  TV is always good too :)
