Answer 1

You've got a busy day...spring break i'm guessing?
I'd say, make sure you've got coloring books & crayons for all of them (watch the 2yr olds to make sure they don't eat them or color on the walls). Disney movies are excellent (make sure you bring popcorn) my 2 & 10 yr old love to have movie time with popcorn! If there's a fenced in yard you could bring them outside to play if the weather's nice ( i say fenced in because my 2r old takes off through the neighborhood the second he's outside if there's not a fence)...good luck, because it doesn't sound like a handful for anyone.

Answer 2

that an awful lot for a 13 year old to do in one day in a mom of 2 and i also babysit in my home 4 others and its all i can do to keep going after 5p.m. when they all go home and then i have to fix my 2 supper and baths. well let me start by wishing you the best of luck. but i will say that at least your not staying with the same child all the dame time. you get to change to a new setting every few hours. oh hey i just realized this your 13 shouldnt you be in school? well anyways there are plenty of things that you can do with them especially the ones that are 2 and 5. go to www.disney.com and print out some charcters coloring pages to color. or get some cheerios and paper and glue and have them make pictures, this would be good for the 9 and 5 year olds, the 2 year old would more than likely eat the cheerios most 2 year old entertain themselfs. watch movies, go outside and play its supposed to be really nice tomarrow.

but im still asking what about school????

Answer 3

If the weather is nice outside take them for a walk in the fresh air. Asking there parents what they like to do is the first thing you should do when you get there. The parents will like to know that you are interested in what activities that there children like. Being a good babysitter starts by being a prepared babysitter. Think of things you liked to do at there ages.

Answer 4

Kid 1.. videogames
Kids 2&3.... nap and barbies
Kids 4&5.... bath and bed.. all done :)

Also I think you've taken on a bit much for a 13 year old... is it spring break or something where you are?

Answer 5

may god help you girl! may I suggest movies for the girls and boy and video games for the older boys...help with homework where appropriate, and lots of reading and board games, you have a full day of changing diapers (I'm assuming the 2 year olds are in the middle of potty training) and chasing after kids, try to keep them as mellow as you can to save yourself (and lets not forget the wonders of a nap for those 2 year olds)

Answer 6

Maybe get some coloring books and crayons or a really good movie or cartoon they like and watch that or try to put them to sleep

Answer 7

Your only 13 and tomarrow is Tuesday! Just go to school

Answer 8

don't you have to go to school? why are your parents even allowing you to babysit that much in one day? try bringing board games and disney movies.

Answer 9

Make sure to know what the kids like to do.

Answer 10

BOGUS! If there are really people out there who let a thirteen year old care for their kids when she should be in school...they are crazy. And where the heck are your parents?
