I have a babysitting bag what I do is I stock this bag with some candy, color sheets, crayons, and a card game like go fish I stock up at a dollar store because it keeps the kids occupied so that way they don't get in trouble. I also plan out some other games like tag, ( never hid- go- seek) leap frog, simon says,etc.) Just have fun play.

Make the parents trust that you will be a good sitter first. Ask Madison what she wants to do, what she wants to watch on TV, etc. Do whatever she wants, like if she wants to draw, get some crayons, colored pencils, and paper out. Ask her what she wants for dinner, and if it's appropriate, go ahead and make it. If it's something like cookies and ice cream, tell her you'd be happy to give her that for dessert. Also call the parents if you get stuck for some pointers how to get her to sleep or calm her down or any other things. Good luck!

play with her all she wants......DONT COMPLAIN! if u dont like the game offer her something that u like and hope she will like it too...........when u play a game and then u end it and she runs off to get something else U put the game away fast so she doesnt c u doing all the work...........every 20 mins ask her if shes ok or if she would like something..............
