Should I take the job?

I might have forgotten to say I accepted the offer. We agreed on the terms together with my aunt this first time.
It's quite a bit of responsibility, but I'm getting used to it now. And sitting is more work than I first expected, it's not just sitting around watching your phone all night. It's chores and helping out with several things that need to get done in addition to keeping the kids in line and making sure they get their chores and homework done as well.
That's part of the terms at this job anyway

Thank you for the support 🤗 i really appreciate your help and support 🤓❤️

Yes take the job after getting clear instructions on what you are to do. Babysitting/keeping the kids does not entail cleaning house and doing chores, that would be another job and responsibility.
Also know what your limitations are on discipline which I think you are familiar with 🤯

I think yes just as a learning experience... There are a lot of people out there that you have to learn to play nice with, even if you don't like them, sad but true... Good luck with your decision

Don't know unless you try. If you get the feeling she going to be drama or intense any time, you don't have to go back.

The thing is...fair or not, the boss sets the rules.

When she criticizes, don't take it personally.

Considering how you describe the mom, I am curious about how the kids are.

If they're good kids, and you already know them, go for it. You can always quit if it gets to be too much, or tell their mom, you need more money. Especially if cleaning needs to be done, aside from watching the children.

Nope...to many negatives, unless you need the money that bad.

Yes do it! It's good experience, you get paid and you help the mum out. The mess issue is easy. When mine were small I used to put a "tidy up" song on (find the longest track lol) and say we all clean up before the song is finished, cleanest is the winner... Yay! Good job kids, we all win. Failing that you can bribe them with stickers and chocolate buttons. 😂

get it written out.. tell her "so you can understand"
maximum hours. any other required duties,
if she is ocd she will love having a detailed list
if you ar ocd, it will give you comfort

A 9 and 12 y/o should basically take care of themselves. Just plan some activities to do with them to keep them occupied. U'll do fine and have some good money for ur trouble.

Give it a go

i wouldn’t be frightened of the opportunity. You will need to use a bit of psychology to get them to do what you need done but if they are good kids they want to please whoever is in charge.

Put her o na month for a trial and have it in writing what your duty are and what she expect and have your parent meet her and her kids that way yo u have second opinion

The experience of babysitting has it's own rewards. Do it. Did it a few times when I was your age with roommates kids. And that was without pay. 😄

I was happy when I started babysitting. Depends on the day if I like it or not. Haha

I agree with @Convivial. Gaining experience, as well as earning, is part of growing up

Extra income is extra income

Might as well learn to keep a house clean too

You should follow your gut instinct. Good news is that it’s only a one time event and it isn’t a massive commitment of time.

If it doesn’t work to your liking you can leave after
Tell her you will try it

Yes take it because it’s a good experience and later you can babysit for other people

Hope the job is all you wanted it to be and more!!!!

You will do well. Go for it.

Do take BrendaMom's advice and get the discipline details precisely specified. I am thinking more about the risks to your bottom! Also, be sure that your Aunt still approves and try to find out what the mom is going to report to your Aunt.

If you are babysitting you most likely need one of these:)

Try it. Why not? What's the worst that could happen?

Good luck and god bless you.

try it see how it goes.... ;)

So you never gave us an update did you take the job and if you did take it. How do you like the job so far

are they boys or girls?

When will the new job actually start? I bet that you are a bit nervous but not to worry. You will be soon enjoying the money and doing a great job!

I bet you are crushing this job!!! You will be great at it!!

Give it a go
Agree expectations beforehand, and what the kids should be expected to do to tidy up, and what they can do re tv etc

Then should be easy money

Did you take it?

Allways try new things. Now you can show what you can do and maybe also find out what you would like to do later😊

Do you still like the job?

Love your profile pic your dog is too cute remind me of my dog I have a pomeranian

Give it a try. If things dont work out then fine but as with all things you will never know till you have a go

Is it easy balancing what you have to do with farm/college life with this job?

Go for it! The kids should be mostly able to take care of themselves at that age.

Sounds like it’s a job that you can take … why not but only you can decide

Any updates on this job? Are you enjoying it? Not enjoying it? Is it what you expected?

Try it. If you don’t like it you can just say it’s not working for you and leave the job.

Has your babysitting job gone well? I hope they have behaved well for you.

Did you decide on the job

You can always take the job and then quit if it is not working out

Did you take the job in the end? Feel free to message me
