Baby sitting - fun or pain? email this discussion to a friend?

I baby sit my grand daughter when my daughter goes for work. She is a cute little pie and really have fun with her. Although feeding and putting her to sleep is a bit straining as the child is very playful. But otherwise she is very cooperative and never gives me any problem. A little kid around the house keeps you on your toes but i enjoy it. How about you? Have you done baby sitting for any baby in your life. How was your experience? Would you like to share it with mylotters?

For me its a big responsibility because taking care of a child or a baby would be delicate in the context of feeding, sleeping and other stuff, you should have a big patience why? patience is a virtue YEAH!!!!

I never done baby setting but ive tried and seen how worst can it get, ive been avoiding some of this things hehehe ....

have a good day!

Yes baby sitting is a great responsibility but when the kids play pranks it is fun. Patience is a part is every woman i think so nothing big about it. Try baby sitting some time and you can see the fun for yourself. Thanks for your response.

I try to be a good babysitter to some neighborhood kids but they're toddlers. Toddlers are the worst to babysit since it's the time children discover the power of tantrums. It's sometimes frustrating because they wont stop crying and throwing things, etc. I learned it's best to leave them when they're like this until they calm down because if you entertain them, they are going to be spoiled brats and will continue to manipulate you to suit their purposes. hahaha... my motto in dealing with these kids is: if you can't get through them, return them! hehe

I tried baby sitting my nieces and nephews. It is really fun. Because I enjoy kids and I find them cute. I love them, they are very curious especially toddlers and preschoolers. They ask so many questions and they are very active. So you need to watch them every move they make because they are prone to accidents also. Sometimes its very tiring because they are very hard headed and they seem to have a very high energy level, you are tired already of playing with them but they seem not tired but it is alright. thumbup


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Yes their energy level is very high compared to ours. You enjoy because you love kids which gives you patience to bear with them.

i am very fond of little kids, so when i am at home i bring little kids from my neighbourhood and spend time with them but i drop the kids back home when i feel that they are feeling irritated or when its time for their food or sleep.


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Great you are really doing a social service. Parents may be waiting for you to send their kids to have some respite. Thanks for your response

Its both fun as well as pain.I love the way they play with mischeif & these kids are very intelligent compared to our generation.The questions they put & the way they suddenly talk something makes me enjoy.I love to hear the toddlers cry which is very cute to hear.

The pain ....they throw all the things all around the place & its really worth taking this sort of pain.


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Dont you know no pain no gain. Just feel you get more fun than the pain taken to put back the toys used by them. Thanks for your response.

The last time i baby sat was for my cousins 18 month old little girl when i was 6 months pregnant. Usually babysitting is pretty easy if you know what you are doing but trying to do it when 6 months pregnant was quite a struggle. Luckily for me she was pretty good and had behaved herself. I think thats what put me off having two children so close together in age gap.


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

I appreciate your courage and strength to baby sit when you were pregnant. Kids make you more tired with their Tantrums and playful nature.But you were lucky the baby behaved well. Thanks for your response.

Baby sitting is fun so long as the kid is not adamant or tantrum throwing one, I have so far not done Baby sitting in particular, but I have just taken care of my niece's child a day or two, when my sister had been out of station, and I had to take care of her grand-daughter. It was fun with the little kid around.


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

So you got a chance to baby sit in the absence of your sister. A good start indeed. Thanks for your response.

I love to be baby sit but never done a job professionally. But recently my aunt who is neighbour to my house whose granddaughter comes to my house regularly and she is just 1 year old. She likes to spend with me because I play with her.. I love helping mothers whose kids are very young. I do it because I like kids and baby very much. The way they react to us and it is not that easy to build bondage with a kid too. I am talking about kids who are not mine..


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Babies whether they are our own or others kids once they get attached to us get along very well and is easy to manage. So you a bit of social service also by looking after your aunt's kid. Keep it up.

Happy mylotting.

i think if the baby is cute and does not give much trouble then baby sitting can be fun.


myLot reputation of 88/100. bewitched13 (295)   ranked 1,418 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Babies are always cute and the trouble of looking after them goes alongwith the fun. It is a package deal. So you cannot get one without the other.
