AboutMicci Expertise Babysitting issues? I know plenty of teenagers have problems with babysitting. Especially when the the one/ones being babysat don't listen, or just don't seem to get along with you. If you have questions on how to keep the child's/children's attention so as to keep them out of trouble, or get along with them better, I should be able to help you. Pay in mind, I am also a teenager, so I don't have professional advice, I can only provide answers from personal experience.
Experience I have many young cousins that I've had to look after before, including a few that were extremely spoiled and hated being told what they had to do. I also have helped watch young children with friends, and at my church.
Education/Credentials I am a sophomore in high school. I do not have any higher education in parenting or child care. I can only provide answers from personal experience for teenagers like myself.
Question well you see i am babysitting for the first time it is a 2 year old boy that i am babysitting any tips to building a good relationship like the basic thing that most 2 year old boys might like and maybe some ideas i can do with him would really help
Answer The best thing to do with any child, really, is to just love them. Talk to him, play with him, and just pay attention to him. Just do your best, and gain his trust, he'll eventually become attached to you and build a relationship with you on his own.
As for things most children his age like to do, hands-on activities and toys are great. Big building blocks, toy cars and trucks, and child-safe finger paints. Though, they are a bit messy. I suggest laying down carpet protection before going into that sort of activity. Old towels, even a small plastic car cover is actually a good carpet protector. Even if it sounds silly.
Hope that helped. :] sorry the reply took so long. I've been having a little e-mail trouble.
