Im Babysitting 5 Kids... Any Suggestions?
The last time I baby-sat that family it was only two of their kids and I watched them with a friend. They didnt pay very well and I had my friend to help me. The ages of the five kids are 4, 6, 6, 9, and 9. Its sort of a creepy house and Im not quite sure what I should do. Im only 13, so, any ideas? Thanks.
Im just kind of nervous because last time they only gave me 5 dollars an hour when i normally do 7 or 8, but I dont want to seem snotty by talking about money.

You poor honey I have got an 13 year old and he is fffaaarrr away from being able to take on such responsibility . i hope you are not way overwhelmed right now and all you guys stay safe. How about painting? blocks if there are any around? hide and go seek? Put in some kids music and try dancing with the kids , simon says maybe? If you are planning on fixing snacks do some fun ones like cut shapes with cookie cutters in the bread for sandwiches, or fix some chex mix with the kids, well hang in there and stay safe now okay?

nicely, the two 365 days previous would be extremely joyful to computer screen Spongebob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and play with toys and and so on. The 5 and 6 365 days olds would be extremely joyful to play make believe thoughts, shade, play abode, cook dinner, create pictures, watch a disney action picture, and and so on. good luck with your babysitting job! :D

i wouldn't go no less than 6 dollars an hour and that is dirt cheap for that many kids...
Take them to a local park. They can play there and wear themselves out!

first, you need to discuss the pay, so it is fair for you...that is a lot of children to care for...i think you should ask a friend to help, and tell the parents to expect to pay both of you...kids like sidewalk chalk (if they have a driveway or sidewalks)...just supervise very carefully outside...also, bubbles, build a "fort" inside w/ blankets, and sheets, get plastic cookie cutters and have them cut out bologna and cheese for sandwiches...that's kinda fun...BE SAFE!
