Baby Sitting

[LizSwann32]

Any tips? I'm babysitting for and eight year old girl and a nine year old boy tomorrow, and I'm not that sure what to do? I've had experience and everything with my brother and my best friend's brother ( which by the way was at the same time and was quite and undertaking!). I just need a boost cuz I don't really personally know these kids.

Every summer my kids get into those knotting bracelet things; where you kinda knot/weave threads or gimp into bracelets. Its fun and you can pick colors to suit the kid! You can get kits at a Wal-Mart, craft store, etc. some kids use embroidery floss. Have fun! - Maybe take over a movie and popcorn for a fun night!

Erlier today me and me siblings were watching my mom's friend's kid, and it was okay I guess, little kids are so rude, and pushy, and mean, and stuff. hopfully this kid ain't so mean.

I've been babysitting the same boy for the past three years. He basically watches movies all day. I'd say just let them do their own thing. Ask them what they like to do and join in with them.
