How To Stop Children Taking Advantage Of You Whilst Babysitting
How do I stop the children taking advantage of me?
Children often like to try and take advantage of their babysitter. That's why it's quite a good idea to have the same babysitter every time, or the same one or two babysitters. If the children try and take advantage of you, remember that they probably just want to be around you because you're someone fun to have in the home. Just read them another story or sit with them in their rooms for a few more minutes. Also, it's a good idea sometimes to say, "Ah! Your parents are going to be home soon. You'd better go to sleep or we'll all get in trouble," so it makes them feel like you'll get in trouble too.
