Babysitting Help, Any Ideas?

[tamtamkitty07]

Well I sorta have a problem.. My mom has a friend who has 3 kids.. One in grade 1, the other in grade 2 and the third one in grade 4, and they need a babysitter, which is where my mom and I come in. :furawatchi:

Now my mom can't play with them like I can, so I'm gonna play with them and hang out with them and stuff, and she makes supper, which by the way they only eat junk.

But my little problem is that the girl in grade 4 is telling her brother and sister "You guys have to play with yourselves because she is only going to play with me.", and not only that, they're not the best sharers...

So do you, my tamatalk friends, have any ideas for games and stuff they can do, so I can pay attention to all them and they won't have a big fight? If so, thanks.

You can even tell some babysitting stories here to just for the fun of it.

i do ! find out what they like to do if they have some of the same fav things to do then do those first!also have them all in the same room and have them all do something and alternate if they cant share you go form one to the other!

p.s its ok playing is not a big deal one time i went to the bath room and the 3 year old dumped jellow all over her head! ^_^

ooo sounds like a problem.. I also babysit for kids who fight...alot, so I came up with this fool proof plan!!!

Okay, Its called the "star chart" you make a chart with each of their names on it, then every night (EVERY night) they're good You place a star next too their name. Then here comes another part. You take a large shoebox, and go to the dollar store. Then fill the shoebox with whatever little kids like, then when one of the kids gets to 3 or 4 stars they get to pick a prize, then the process begins again. See, once one of the kids gets a prize, the others will think "hey, i actually get something!" It's so much less hassle on the bb-sitter, and more pleasent too!! Many prizes in the "prize box" are only a dollar, so you can buy many things on a limited budget!

Hope i helped!!
