You need to start out small- 30 minutes while you are VERY close by. <BR/><BR/>I think you SHOULD pay her. My sisters hated watching me. Make it to where she can earn a little pocket money. $2 an hour is reasonable to start with.If you expect her to be responsible she should have SOME kind of motivation. That's my 2 cents worth.<BR/><BR/>Spotlight Sunday- you in??

As for the babysitting thing, you need to let her practice. I know that she wants to try, but you need to lay down the ground rules...No books or TV while watching the kids. She must come up with inventive ways to keep them entertained. Buy her some games that can only be played with the youngers only when she is babysitting. That should help some. I don't know what else to tell you!<BR/><BR/>Love ya!<BR/><BR/>(Oh and don't forget to call Disney!)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428677071957638576noreply@blogger.com
