What do you do when the kids are impolite like refusing to clean up or not saying please when they tell you to do something. I am aware that not every child is perfect but I experienced this today while I was babysitting a four year old and a almost two year old and this family has four kids one is 12 the other is 10 and 12-year-old is never there when I’m babysitting but the 10 year old is I do not get paid to watch him because he usually takes care of himself while I watch the littles but today I walked into his parents bedroom to ask him a question and there were toy cars EVERYWHERE and these cars were not in there earlier. I simply and calmly asked him why there was a bunch of tiny cars everywhere and he said that he dumped the bin that holds the toy cars. I asked him why and he said that he wanted to and WASN’T planning on playing with them. So as a normal babysitter would do I asked him to pick and he refused. I asked him why he wouldn’t do it and he responded with “that’s not the kind of stuff I do. That’s my moms job she can deal with it later.” I tried to convince him to clean the cars up to help his mom out and again he refused. I would have fussed at him but there were to toddlers unattended in the other room. I had to Bring the two toddlers into his parents bedroom to clean up the cars. The two year old was crying and the four year old wanted to play while I was cleaning up the car mess. This isn’t the only “impolite” incident that has happened with this family. Help me babysitter boss!!
Ugh, I feel you!! Been there, done that. It can be hard navigating a wide range of age groups during a babysitting job. First, I would speak with the parents about the situation. They should be aware of what is going on when they are away, and hopefully make your job easier if you take another babysitting job from them. Second, @tealzigzagssisrilann made a great point. If you find yourself in a situation where you do have to clean up, make clean up a game! Sometimes, you gotta channel your inner Mary Poppins, you know? I wish you the best and know you got this!
Hi! I love your videos, you guys help me a lot. Do you think you could do a video on how to do CPR? Or the hemlock (I think I spelled it right😅) I took a certification course a year or so ago and I don’t remember…
Thank you so much and what a great question! When it comes to refreshing your knowledge on CPR or choking rescue, I always recommend finding someone who is a certified CPR instructor to go over everything again. It's their job to make sure you see how it should be done, as well as make you get to practice those skills till you feel confident doing them yourself. If you did take a babysitting class in the past, reach out to them! They will probably be able to point you in the right direction. Hospitals, libraries, the YMCA, and parks and recreation departments are also great places to check out for refresher courses!
Like everyone said above, talk to your parents about the situation. They are going to be the best advocate when it comes to making sure the kids you are watching and you are safe. Always (and I mean ALWAYS) make sure you feel safe taking a babysitting job. If you feel something is off, tell a trusted adult.
Can you please make a video on dealing with kids who won’t let their parents leave? I’ve babysat a ton before but this one child wont let their mom leave and it gets super awkward!
Hey there! That can be really tough. The best thing to do is to distract the child with a toy or game as the parents are leaving. Let me know if that works!
What do I do if I'm babysitting a 4 year old and he likes to disobey my. Like for example he'll run and scream around the house and i tell him to stop and he doesn't. Then I'll tell him something like "If you do it again I'll put the puzzle away, and he does it, and I start to put the puzzle away and then he screams and starts crying. Or when he does something unsafe, like terrorizing the dog, and I tell him to stop and the dog bites him. I usually have to end up grabbing him in situations like that, but try to be as gentle as possible. Please make a video if you can
that's unfortunately just how 4 year olds are usually. remember to keep your voice firm when saying no running around the house. use "do I need to call mom and dad?" as a warning, then maybe try 3 strikes and then time out or another consequence. good luck!!
I try and remember that Preschoolers are dealing with A LOT of big emotions. Always stay calm and try and be a role model on how to navigate those feelings! I like to ask the parents what their favorite toys or books are before taking a job. That way I know I have a secret weapon if things get too crazy and can try to divert their attention from a complete meltdown. But always feel okay to reach out to the parents if you feel like a situation is beyond your control. Babysitting is a big job, so it is okay to reach out for help!
Hey babysitters boss I think for the next episode if the kid is old enough, you should do an episode of the kid getting there period bc I remember I was babysitting a girl who I've been babysitting for a while and she comes to me she was saying her stomach hurts but I thought she just had to go to the bathroom so when she did she screamed so I ran to the door and she runs up to me and when I look down she had blood on her pants so she was crying so I get her cleaned up changed her clothes all that so I call her parents asked if they wanted me to explain what was going on and they said yes so I did and she told me she was scared and gave me a hug bc(I was babysitting her for about a couple of years so we grew like a sister bond) I was like an older sister to her so I hugged her back and told her she was going to be ok so then I gave her a heating pad that I keep in my babysitters bag for this reason bc she was getting cramps and then we watched a movie in her room until her parents got home mind u I’m almost 15 and she is 10 and the parents were so impressed on how I handled the situation

Make it into a game. Whoever picks up the most wins, and give them a small reward at the end.

What do you do when you real like the child you were babysitting for is in danger from the parents?
*feel*
Definitely talk to your parents about it
talk to your parents abt it

Have them take a break for a few minutes (however old they are is the minutes) then tell them "Are you ready to restart", and start playing again.
Thats karma for him

Any tips for babysitting kids whose parents are divorced?
Honestly, if it creates awkward situations, probably turn the job down.
