Question

It is kinda hard sometimes to babysit for this one 6 year old boy and i was wondering if it is bad if you invite your friend to come along to help? Is it like rude to the parents???

Answer 1

ask the parents

say that you sometimes find you get rather tired.

so playing games with a friend with the child would make it more exciting for him, and better for you.

make sure they know you dont want any extra money or anything

and good luck =]

Answer 2

You are supose too ask the boy&#039;s parents permission before bringing a friend there. oh boy are you dumb

Answer 3

It can be rude so you should ask the parents first. It&#039;s there house and there child. If it&#039;s to hard that you need a friend then maybe you should talk to the parents. Let them know it&#039;s to hard for you and that you are not going to babysit there son anymore.  I know it&#039;s not always going to be easy, but it shouldn&#039;t be so hard that you have to have a friend over.

What&#039;s the problem that&#039;s making it so hard? Is it behavior problems? If that&#039;s it then you need to sit down and talk to the parents, see how they handle that stuff and see how they want you to handle it. You don&#039;t want to do anything different then what they do.

Here are some ideas you could do.

  

See if he has lagos(sp?) and get on the floor and build with him.

Play with little cars and ask him what are the cars doing?

Find a nice easy game.

Play music and just dance with him and just get silly. Kids like that kind of stuff.

Get crayons out and paper and color.

Make easy art projects that he can show off to his parents.

Also, ask the parents if you can take him outside or to the park.

Good luck!!

Answer 4

It&#039;s not rude to the parents, but make sure you ask first.  You don&#039;t want to bring friends in without asking.  Plus, the parents might want to meet your friend first.

Answer 5

You should not invite anyone over if the parents do not know ahead of time.  The parents are trusting you with their son, not someone they never met.  Some parents will probably be fine if you invite a friend as long as they know.  I, on the other hand, would not let a babysitter have friends over.  I&#039;m not paying them to have fun, I&#039;m paying them to care for my child.
