Hey girls! If you like to read, write or both could you please join my club "Bookworms & Writers"? I am trying to reach at-least 55 members by the end of the week and right now I'm at 43. I would really appreciate your help! Smile

How do you pick up a baby after they are lying on the ground? Especially when they can't support their neck?

Hey girlie! I totally recommend babysitting. It will be close to home and you can earn some serious cash. Also, a ton of people take vacations in the summer so you can offer to take care of their pets while they're gone. You can dog-walk, feed fish, anything! Lemonade stands just don't cut it anymore, huh? xoxo

When my baby cousin comes over (I dont really babysit but watch for a few while the parents talk)it is pretty easy to handle. First and most importantly you should know how to change a diaper. You should be prepared with picture books (make sure they are good for a 6 month old) and have a few toys for them if the parents don't bring any. Talk to them like a real person (not goo goo etc.)it is better for them. When you first see your cousin come up and lift her (so she knows your ok to be with). Know how to hold a baby and how to feed one too. Finally dont let your eyes of that baby (especially if they are mobil (some are and some arent at this age) Ask what the baby likes and doesnt like, what soothes them and bedtime rituals.

Mod i am babysitting tomorrow for a 9 year old, 2 year old, and 8 month old. How do i deal with the nine year old being hyper while trying to carefor the babies? Thanks!




Hey girl, I'd say a movie or bringing a special book for her to read is a great distraction for her. See too if she wants to help you take care of the little ones. She might feel special playing that boss/babysitter role with you.
