What do i do if the kids do not listen to the babysitter?

Question

the babysitter is only 16 yrs. of age

Answer 1

Explain to the baby sitter your disapline techniques and tell her to use them..... Tell the children that you have given the baby sitter permission to spank their bottoms (However dont give her this authority) Just use this as something to tell your kids. If they keep it up and don't listen to her.. find a new baby sitter.. they might not be listening because she is being too rude/yelling etc..

Also tell your kids they eitehr listen to her or you will get another baby sitter.. one that might not be soo nice.. and will not tolerate naughty behaviour. Also find out how they're not listening... maybe her expectations are too high.. i have a 16 year old sister and she would disapline my 2 yr 5 month old for stupid reasons.. Remember ... why are children called children? Because they act childish...

Answer 2

Get an "older" babysitter!  Someone who can take charge!  If your kids don't listen to the babysitter. . .you have no one "in charge"  while you're gone!

Answer 3

doesnt matter when you put in charge its like you bein there you tell her or him to send them to there room or something like that cuz if they dont listen to the babysitter then they are goin to think that they dont have to anyone else and then it will turn back on you as well

Answer 4

Definitely get a new babysitter.. one that has more respect for her self and control of situations. possibly need to have an older one with a little more experience.

In my side of the world we have an agency Jans Nans and Grans. they have sitters of all ages to help with all situations. The Nans are loved and very sought after.. its great for older ladies to socialise  and get an income after loosing a loved one..

Answer 5

Well as an experienced babysitter, I have had this problem. Tell you r kids, in no uncertain terms, that they will listen to the sitter or there will be h**l to pay when you get home. Kids are to spoiled today, so if they value their stuff like video games, phones, toys, or going places, that they better listen or they will be without the things that they have. I know most people don't spank their kids anymore, but when I was little, I knew that I would get my butt tore up if I acted up.
