Hey sunnyblue1296- 11 and 12 isn't too young to babysit if you are mature enough... Ur only 13, one or two years isn't always a big difference. There are some 13-year-olds who are less mature than some 9-year-olds (not saying you, just saying some in general). I'm 11, and I babysit a 4 year old and 1 year old- I have a job there tonight! Don't just assume that someone's too young based on a number.

I'm 15 and got my first babysitting job this weekend! I've known the family for a really long time, but I am nervous. The boys are 5 and 12 and they have a huge dog. I know they are wild kids. Are there ideas what I should do when it gets too out of hand? Or when they won't listen to me?
Thanks!

 

 

Hey girl, that is awesome congrats!!! Boys like active things, play games, go outside, create something. The five year old will probably go to bed early. Then you will just have to entertain the older one. You could always pop in a movie. That is fool proof. xo JANA
