WOW – 2WEEKS OLD AND WITH A SITTER ALREADY. THAT REALLY BITES!! THE BABY PROBABLY HAS COLIC AND IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE A CRYING BABY I WOULD JUST TELL MOM THE TRUTH…. AND VERY SOON. IT IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH A BABY WITH COLIC.
Giver her at least one weeks notice, and just keep in mind that you won’t have to watch the baby much longer. Just tell her that’s it’s not working out and she will have to find someone else.Please try to be patient, she is just only two weeks old.
Just tell her. I worked at a church taking care of infants while the parents attended services, and all of them were great except for the choir leader’s baby; it was a real spoiled brat and screamed its lungs out which set all the others off and when i mentioned it she got real snotty so I quit. Wasn’t worth it. What a rotten baby; that was over 20 years ago and her kid is probably a drug addict by now or worse.
Well she is way too young to be separated from her mom. That’s probably why she’s crying. Her mom should be staying home with her. Just tell her mom that you have found a different job that pays better and have to switch because you need to save money. Or just tell her straight up that her child is driving you insane. It’s not healthy for the child either to be crying that much.
I never heard of a mom doing that so young, what the heck is going on? Didn’t she get maternity leave? What’s her name, McCain?
Try holding her. For a long time, not just 15 minutes or so. A couple hours. Little babies have to feel safe. Is she swaddled when she is put down, that works wonders, makes them think they are being held I guess. She could be too warm or too cold? Hungry? My granddaughter was very sensitive to being too warm, I used to fan her to test if she had too much on. It was so funny, I’d fan her and she’d quiet right down, then I’d let her be in just her onsy or sometimes just her diaper.
I know this may sound a lot like a child response but there is an American Girl book that can help! Baby-sitters guide. It has lots of information and tips too! Good Luck!
Tell the parents what’s going on as soon as possible. Since the baby can’t explain you have to be her voice in case somthing is really wrong. Then tell the parents that you don’t feel comfortable taking care of a newborn. Is there anyone who can help you in the meantime like your mom?
two weeks is really Early for babysitter but if the baby keeps crying tell the mother that she crys all the time and unless shes not sick i can’t watch her anymore..some babies have colic or they could have ear infections..but if shes not sick and just crys let the mother have a two week notice..since its very hard to find babysitters
Well for starters when she gets too hard to handle set her down and walk out of the room of 10 to 15 minutes. What ever you do Do not abuse the baby. Set it down and walk away. Wrap the baby up tight but not too tight pick it up and gently pat it’s back like you are mimicking a heart beat then make a hushing sound like the sea. This makes the baby think that it is still in the womb where it feels safe and hears the heartbeat
why people has so a hard time to tell the truth?you just said it on Yahoo!Answer,so why don’t you tell her.before you hurt the baby,don’t wait please tell her for the sake of the baby.the baby need lots of care,cuddles,kiss on the chicks,and lots of attention,relax moment that she could drink her milk.relay i don’t want to judge you cause i don’t no you.but if you don’t have pation to be the babysitter well give your job to some one else.as soon as possible tell her mom how you fill that the baby don’t stop crying.and for the best of the baby find yourself another babysitter.don’t wait just tell her that your going nuts cause the baby cry a lot,and i am sorry cant take it any more so i am telling you right now that i wont babysit for you no more.cause you don’t want to harm her baby.well that is my opinion and at last you will have to make the decision.
My babysitter made us do a trial week before she would take him full time. Something to think about next time. I would definetly tell the family maybe the baby isn’t like that at home and they could give you a few tips about what the baby wants. Don’t get overwelmed if your upset all of the children will get upset and that can make for a very long day.
Obviously you know nothing about infants and shouldn’t be babysitting them. You’ll have to tell her mother just that. You don’t know how to care for an infant or aren’t mature enough to deal with one and are going to stick with older children. Why on earth would you take on this job to begin with if you didn’t have the maturity for it?
get cough syrup and give the baby some, dip her pacifier in it and give it to her, she will be passed out for hours, or if you have a gas oven put on the gas and stick the baby’s head in it, works just as well
