How to handle 3 young children
Hi all! I know this might not be the best page for this but I wanted to try anyways. I want to preface this isn't a "serious" sort of under contract agreement job at all. I have babysat up to 9 hours for this family before over a span of a couple years. The parents are essential government workers so they have fixed schedules. I am a 19 year old girl and need all the help I can get to manage these guys lol.
The deal is:
- 7 am to 4:30
- 5 days a week
- 3 months over the summer
- 1 child is 5 years old ADHD diagnosis recently and was notorious for getting kicked out of pre-k, he's finally settled down at one pre-k and doing well. He will not be going in the summer and getting ready for kindergarten. He's a spunky guy but was the first kid so I feel like the parents weren't fully prepared. He still wears diapers to sleep because he wets the bed (not sure if thats normal), cannot sleep in his own room/bed ( stays in his parents bed) and is very picky eater. I would say his play/energy is normal a little on the crazy side but hes so fun to be around so its no big deal.
- 2 of the cutest twins ever! Soon to be 1 in August. One is on the bigger side, he is starting to walk and by the time I begin he probably will be able to. The other one is very sweet and quiet, she's on the smaller side. I suspect she isn't too far behind on the walking game. They are kind of on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it come to their personalities. One is more independent and one needs more constant play.
Im not pointing these characteristics out to flaw them at all, I truly do love them and cant wait to do this job. I just would like tips on how to manage so many children, how to give them all proper attention and some things I should be careful for etc! Thank you all!
