wear clothes that you are not attatched to. Clean up after them and their parents will love you. Just have fun and play with them, maybe bring stickers so that you can reward them when they behave (then they will want to please you so that they can get a sticker). Just be confident and act like you know what you are doing and they will believe you.

For a 3 year old and 2 year old, they are very demanding!! lol. But they are lots of fun to play with. Make sure that you play with them, not just let them play alone. Because they like to play with you. Bring movies, and games. If the kids are girls, bring barbies, girlie movies ect. If the kids are boys, bring like hotwheels, and boy movies(transformers, go deiego go, ect) You can watch tv with them, play with them. Ask the parents if you are allowed to cook in the house, like make lunch for them. And see if the paretns all ready made lunch. From my experiences, I burnt pizza while babysitting, and there was smoke everyware! So i immediatly opend the windows and called my mom. It was scary! lol. But thank god, i didnt burn the house down. That was my first job.. Anyway, have fun babysitting!

Dont let your guard down. they are soooo fun at this age, but they will be a handful. Be very cautious of where they are (especially the 2 yr old) at all times. Child proof the area they will be ahead of time and try to get some activities planned by checking the internet.) Ask the parents to bring some things to keep them occupied and keep small things out of their mouths. Feed them soft foods so they wont choke. Plan to be on the ball. Good luck!

Be prepared to play, play, play! Make sure you are well rested before hand. This should be a fun experience for you and the kids. Don't rely on movies too much because it is the easy way out.

Well have fun, do not get carried away with them, need to be alittle firm and make things not get out of control. Maybe have some quite time with them, have them sit down with you, watch a movie or T.V. Read a book to them, play a game they would like. And just have a great time wit them.

they need lots and lots of attention so they don't get bored and get into things. Also, if they start to throw a tantrum it's usually an attention thing, so I leave the room until they calm down and then go back in to talk about what they were so upset about. Good luck!
