Tips for Babysitters
• Plan activities to do with the kids in advance (i.e. crafts and/ or games)
• Find a movie that you think they would like in advance
• Ask the parents questions about specific snacks to have, if they have rules
• Before you put the kids to bed, play a quiet activity or do something that doesn’t get them too excited
• Make a competition about going to bed
• Make sure to start the movie at a time where it won’t finish too early
• Try to be the “cool” babysitter but make sure to have discipline
• Stay off your phone, unless the kids are sleeping
• Make sure to ask about food allergies
• Make sure to ask about discipline and rules that the family follows.
