Make a Super Sitter Surprise Box. Decorate it with wrapping paper and markers, and fill it with fun crafts, toys, and goodies. Bring the box with you when you babysit. When the kids get bored, just pull out the box.

Zoey here, just wanted to say Happy New Year early before I get too busy getting ready! So here's what's happening tonight. My parents invited some of their friends over our house for the evening. My older brother is going to his girlfriend's house tonight, my younger brother is just DYING to stay awake this year, and me? Well, I'm planning to get on the couch in my PJ's with some sparkling cider and watch the New Year's Rockin' Eve. We will play some games and stuff but mostly talk and watch TV. So, what are you people doing? Just comment and let me know!

Bed Time

If the child you're babysitting doesn't want to put on his pajamas, brush his teeth, or go to bed, try to make a game out of it. For example, say, "I bet you can't put your pajamas on in less than a minute." It's fun for the child because it's a game! And you get your job done.

Languages

If the place where you're babysitting has a computer, look up some foreign languages to teach the kids. Maybe they could even learn to write their names in Chinese. You can also make up your own languages!

Idea Cup

Before babysitting, make an idea cup, which has pieces of paper with things to do written on them. Whenever the child doesn't have anything to do, have him or her pick an idea out of the cup. You can even let the child add ideas to the cup.
