How much to charge for babysitting a 7 year old?!?
Im 13, and i was offered a babysitting job. She wants me to babysit her 7 year old son until school starts. She says she's not sure on the definite hours but will let me know this evening, but it would probably be 6:30 am- 5pm. This is honestly way earlier than im used to waking up in the summer so it will be different, but it's good i guess so i'll get used to waking up early for School. She would need me Monday-Thursday. I'm not sure if i'll be watching him at my home or theirs. She asked if i could watch him and to let her know what i would charge. I don't know how much to charge. It'll be around 10 hours each day, and 4 days a week. I don't want to be un fair, but I don't want to be cheated either as I will have to wake up earlier and it takes away most of my days of summer left.
Babysitting 9 year old Girl?
-Bake something -Do a craft such as make a necklace, paint a picture (ideas on familyfun.go.com) -Watch a movie or TV -Make a meals/snacks together -Go outside and play frisbee, soccer, basketball etc. -Paint nails -Do hair You'll be fine. I just started babysitting and its not that hard. Remember you don't have to keep her entertained the whole time, let her have some time to herself. Crafts are definitely a good idea though.
Babysitting 7 Year Old Boy? PLEASE HELP?
You could bring a board game, but most likely there will be things at his house that he will want to do. Usually they will want you to play with them, but mostly, the parents want you to just make sure they do not destroy the house. If he makes a mess, make sure to get him to clean it up or help him clean it up. He might want to watch tv or a movie or something. G rated of course :) Good luck!

Should I let my 12-year-old babysitter bathe my 8-year-old and 9-year-old sons? They both protested when she bathed them last.
NoSomething similar happened between me and 2 of my friends (both males). I was around 9, one boy was 8 and the other boy was 7 (this is a rough estimate of our ages).Though we didn’t have the “bathing” situation you’ve asked about, and our situation was consensual, I still feel like this applies.Anyway, we had an empty room in our basement and me and my 2 friends were playing. I don’t know how it came up, or even who thought of the idea, but we decided we wanted to see what we looked like naked. I know for a fact that this was out of sheer curiosity, since we were in 1st-3rd grade at the time.Going into the empty room, one at a time one of us would go hide somewhere out of sight and undress while the other two would wait. The person would come in, turn around, and that was that.Even being the only girl in the group, I was not uncomfortable, besides the usual “oh it’s cold in here” type of thing that happens when everyone is naked. When it was my turn, the boys did seem interested, but in a curious sort of way.They seemed fascinated. They asked me to turn around so they could “see what I look like from the back” and then I left and got dressed againI personally am glad me and my friends were comfortable enough to do this, with completely innocent intentions. Once our parents knew, they were not upset or mad at us, because they understood it was part of growing up to be curious.Now, in your situation, this girl, who is only 3–4 years older than your sons, is bathing these boys against their will. I believe doing anything against a child’s will is wrong, but a girl that, I’m going to guess they don’t know that well, has been given permission to bathe your sons, is the true issue.At age 12, I was fully grown. At age 8–9, I could shower by myself. There is no reason that boys their age should need, or want, to be bathed… much less by a girl who could be their highschool girlfriend in the future!(Ok, I will admit, I go to school with one of these guys still, he’s 16 and I’m 18, and we still consider each other friends. When I see him, I rarely think about that event, and I see him as just another kid at school, and he has shown that he feels the same)
How to entertain 8 & 10 year old boys babysitting?
I was babysitting an 8 year old who was being particularly unhappy about being left with a babysitter. I told him I wanted to watch "Johnny Quest". He had no idea what it was and immediately said NO. I put in the DVD anyway. As soon as it started his was glued to the TV :-) Then a minute later I told him that I was perfectly happy to shut it off. He said "no! keep the show on". I then explained to him that he should first listen before rejecting something out of hand. After that he became more reasonable. He realized that there are many things to do if he just gives it a chance. Once you get them to respect you and pay attention then it gets simple. I got a 100 $ digital microscope that can entertain boys for hours. You can get an electronic learning kit for as low as 25 $. It is safe and will both entertain and educate. And so on ...
I just caught the 8 year old boy I babysit playing with himself in my bed. HELP!!!!?
The little boy I babysit was laying in my bed supose to be watching a movie and falling asleep, When I went in there he jumped and pulled the covers up he had his pants and underwear half off and was touching himself. This is the first time ive ever seen or heard of someone that young doing that. I looked it up online and it seems like a lot of kids even younger than him do it. Does it feel good to someone that young? Could someone that young pre-*** or even *** at all? I thought you couldn't do all of that until you reach puberty. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
My 7 year old is getting bullied and we have taught him to stand up for himself but he won't. My husband has now grounded him until he stands up to his bully. Is this wrong?
Absolutely!! Why don’t you intervene and talk to the parents of the bully as well as the school? Your husband’s parenting approach is foul. He is punishing his child for being afraid instead of having his back and protecting him. He is only 7!!! That is a baby! I could see if he were 13 or 14 that’s different. Second grade and he is getting punished for THAT?You need to talk to your husband Mom and get him to see reason. He is throwing your little kid to the wolves with this action. Dad doesn’t know the size of the bully, the age of the bully, the strength of the bully, who else the bully runs with that might mean your child gets JUMPED, the violent nature of the bully, etc. You might be unknowingly setting your child up to be hospitalized or worst. Come on now!!Call the school and ask for a meeting with that child and his parents. You and your husband go too but WITHOUT YOUR SON. He doesnt need to be there. But what he does need is assurance that you are on his side and will always be there to help protect him to the best of your ability.And if your child is small and frail type, put him in judo or karate or something to help build his strength and confidence.
Babysitting an out of control child.?
Once a week I babysit two children...One of them is usually alright, and the other one who is eight years old is very impossible to control. Even though I only take care of the boy for a few hours once a week. I feel bad because I dread it. I already live with an abusive person, and when I hear these things coming from an 8 year old its hard for me to know what to do. He calls me names and says im stupid and that I dont think, I dont have a brain. I used to respond by telling him that wasnt nice and he had to say sorry, but he just shrugs and starts acting worse. If I tell him he cant have what he wants (usually he asks for things to eat and his mother asked me not to buy him anything because she has snacks waiting for them) He will start hitting me when I least expect it or start to run away from me, and I dont like to use force for anything, so I usually can only telll him to "stop please". I know he is only a child, but I am not a psychologist, and I cant change behavior of a child for 5 hours once a week....in a chidl that is used to treating people like this. I tell his parents and they seem quite oblivious to it all. I asked him if he realizes how much he hurts people and he says "I dont care about what otherpeople feel, I care about myself". My boss extended my hours for emergency today, and I need to know how to handle this.. How can I make it through the day? I try to nurture him, and I try to be nice to him, and I feel bad about feeling so *afraid* when I have to take care of him, because its unpredictable. What should I do? How can I engage him for those few horus, without using yelling or force (I hate yelling and hate force...so...for now Ive just been dealing with this silently)
Can a 13 year old babysit like the old days?
Yes, as long as your mature and is not for long as you probably can’t feed them as well
