Is $80 acceptable for watching four kids?
This was my first experience babysitting and it was very much of a hassle to deal with, especially how it was in the pool. One out of two girls had a bossy attitude towards me. She asked me to go into the hot tub because it felt nice, however I said later because I didn’t feel like going in it since I was watching 4 of them. She then gave me this attitude of "get in now!" "I don’t care what you say, get in now." I was concerned why she acted that way since I have never seen a child disrespecting a simple decision.
The two boys were mature and I didn’t need to give them much instructions. I only watched them for 4 hours, but I felt so overwhelmed just by doing this on my own. I wanted to tear up. I know that every kid is different regarding their environments, but I think parents should discipline their children when it comes to respecting the babysitter.
I feel like I exaggerated this experience a bit but my whole day felt like I was on high alert.
