Questions to ask babysitting parents?

Question

What kind of questions should I ask the parents of three children aged 3,5 & 7 about babysitting there children from 5pm-11pm.

I am a 1st time babysitter.

Answer 1

bedtime, what time and what they eat dinner, whether or not you need to bathe them, make sure you know what things the children are and aren't allowed to do/eat/go etc. kids love to trick babysitters into letting them do things they would normally not be allowerd to do. and make sure you get a phone number you can reach the parents at in case of an emergency.

Answer 2

Ask them about bed time, if you will need to give them a bath, what the children routine are, what they can and cannot eat along with if they are allergic to anything. If you could eat some of the food in the fridge since you will be there for 6 hours. But they should tell you all of that since you've never babysat them before. Good luck :)

Answer 3

You can ask them what time they eat supper, and what they generally like to eat, if theres anything they are not allowed to drink, (some parents keep pop in their fridge but dont want their kids to have it) You can ask what time they usually bathe them all and put them in bed. You can also ask if they have a certain bed time routine such as reading a book or anything. Also make sure to ask if any of them are on medication or allergic to anything, but I'm sure they will let you know, if their anything like me they will probably tell you every little detail you need to know before you start babysitting, but just keep those questions in mind just in case they dont cover them.

Answer 4

they pretty much tell you everything. bring them a batch of cookies!! (i did this and they really appreciated it!) but something you should ask is bedtime.
