I'm going to be babysitting a 4 year old girl, starting Monday... What do 4 year old's like to do?
(Also, what are some questions that I should ask the mom?)

Ask the mom if the little girl has any allergies. Ask for the mom's phone number, and one other number in case of emergency. Ask if the little girl still takes naps, and for how long. Also ask if there's anything she doesn't want her daughter to eat. Have her bring an extra set of clothes that they can just leave at your house in case of messes or potty accidents (my daughter is 5 and she still pees her pants now and then).
Four year olds like to color, play simple computer games (my daughter loves this one http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=girlsactivitymakeover ) watch movies, play outdoors, help cook things like cookies (don't let her near the oven of course), play dress up or play with toys...usually they're followers and will want to do anything you suggest. A couple of my daughter's favorite things to do are make necklaces (a big bag of beads at walmart is $3 and the elastic string is about a dollar) or paint our toenails together :-)

Arts and crafts + Disney movies= Happy 4 year olds
You should ask if the child is on any medications and what kind of foods are okay for her to eat.. Good luck.

try... coloring books, movies, books, playing outside, bubbles, going to the park to play.
you can ask the mom what she likes to do or call a few day cares around town to ask what activities they ingage in with that age range at the day care.
