  • What can I do to keep them entertained?

    So I'm babysitting my sister's 4 kids next week. I typically babysit once or twice a week for her,and I do it as a favor (no charge) and it's only for up to 4 hours at most. This time it's going to be different because she's going out of town for two days, and I'm going to be left in charge of them, for a half day, one whole night, and another day from morning to midnight.

    My question is : what can I do to entertain the kids for so long? I mean when I babysit for a few hours, I usually just do fun things like create forts, or let them do my makeup, but that's only for a little while, this time it's going to be for a much longer period, and it might be a challenge.

    Ages of the children are two girls (8 mos., and 3 years old) and two boys (6 and 11)

    Can anyone help me out with some suggestions?
    or give me a list of some items I can purchase that will help me out?

      focus on taking care of the 8 month baby. the 3/6/9 will play/fight with each other. if they play--it's easy. if they fight, it's hell because the 8 month baby will be crying like crazy.

        Don't give everything at once. When you give them make up, give them lipstick first, then add the mascara after then add another make up after a few minutes.
