Depends on four things:
1. Your age.
2. The age of the children.
3. How many children there are.
4. How active are they? Will you be watching them for a couple of hours after they go to bed or during the day?
Think of it like this: If you're like 13 years old and have charge of 3 kids ranging in age from 2 - 4 years old for three hours during the middle of the afternoon, it's not going to be a cake walk. But if you're 15 years old and are babysitting a five year old so mom and dad can have date night, it'll be easier.
Everything's relative. Good luck!

Not unless you have studied the behaviors of children of various ages and you know some child psychology.
Still, it can get tedious and trying, so stay patient and never spank another person's child. I read about "time in", which is a time out with a quiet activity such as coloring, an age appropriate chore, or putting a simple puzzle together.
Enjoy the children above all.

no it is very hard to babysit.you have to watch the kids every minute, you cant go to the bathroom because they will run off, they will run every which way and be loud, you will have to think of sme ways to make them have all of your attention. a movie wont work, it might work for lil while, until you get out of the bathroom but thats it. you have to think of fun games for them to play while you have them. board games(depending on the age),color books, read books, play outside(make sure the gate is closed), dont watch more than three kids underthe age of 5. they rae a hand full and if yo uare a teenager it will be hard to run after one,while changing a diaper,and having the other one crying. you will be overhelmed. good luck.

Yes it is easy. You just have to rent some good g-rated movies and play them. Also feed them their favorite food...pizza usually works. Make sure decaffinated soda. It's so easy I'm amazed how much money baby sitters get paid to watch tv and eat pizza.

It depends greatly on the behavior of the kids. It takes a lot of responsibility. Their little lives are in your hands.

taking care of children is never easy whether they are your own or someone elses. alot of it depends on how many kids you are going to take care of, dont take on too many if you have never been around them. and the rest depends on their ages you dont want to watch an infant if you dont know anything about them

What exactly do you mean? Are you looking for a babysitter or are you wanting to know if it difficult to be one?
