Play hide and seek and just never find them. They'll think they have a great hiding spot for at least 20 minutes

First off all you are too young to be looking after 3 kids, especially the 8 & 9 yr. olds as they are almost your age & they are going to push you as far as they can to see how much they can get away with.
What are the parents doing to give you instructions on what they can do & what they can't do while you're watching them. If it's not spelled out to you ask them to do so. Make a list or something so you can show the older ones. Tell them that they get a star for good behaviour & a 10-15 minutes time out, such as having to sit somewhere you choose if they don't behave.(P.S. U can get the stars at a craft store or at any department store, such as Wall Mart.)
When the parents come in tell them that the kids are a little too much for you to handle by yourself, & maybe they can hire one of your friends to help you out. You & a friend can split the baby sitting money.
If they don't want to have 2 people in their house taking care of these kids, they should find an older person to do the job.
In the meantime if I were you I'd talk to your own parents about this ,as they probely don't realize how much responsability you've been given. That way if your family lives near by, your mom could pop in on you to see how you're doing. I did that when my daughter baby sat & she was only allowed to take care of 2 kids under 10 at 14. When she was 15-18 she could increase the kids she took care of, but only if the kids were aware of the rules of the baby sitter & the kids parents had to approve of the rules you set forth, as you are the one in authority when they're out.(Games are good if you can find one they will play.)
Good- Luck**** REBELCAT.>>>>

Heres a great ideal...All of you go to the kitchen and make some home made cookies and let the young ones help in getting the cookies ready to bake...After they are done put something the kids like on tv and let them eat some of the cookies they help to make...That way you can read a book or magazine or join the kids and have some of the cookies you helped bake...Then after the programs are over put them to bed...

ok... u gained't want 2 do this, yet play make believe. Atleast it may save her busy. Have her deliver some toys over once you babysit her. Make little snacks that should not be perplexing that you do not ought to cook dinner. perhaps like celary & peanut butter. no longer 2much of a multitude. put in a movie for someone her age. Have her p.c.. out a e book. perhaps, u could say, "I guess you won't be able to sparkling this up!" U comprehend... revercycology. Any little toddler could fall 4 that.

Have you tried playing board games, cards, I am sure they can teach you how to play their video games. It is a nice day is there a park near you? If they can't get along seperate them. Look you are the authority figure and it is your job to watch over the kids. Ask THEM what they want to do. Good luck hon next time before you go to work get online and look up games for babysitters.I am sending you this website look it over.

Why don't you watch a movie? And you should probably get off the computer, because the kids will tell their parents and they won't ask you to babysit again. Good luck, babysitting is difficult.

um have you tried negotiating between the two maybe if you hear both sides to why they are fighting you'll find something to do.
