What to do while babysitting a 4 year old boy

Home More advice Kids

Hi everyone!

So, my mom lined up a babysitting job for me today for sometime this week, and I need some advice. Usually I babysit kids in like 2nd through 5th grade (mostly 3rd and 4th graders). When I asked my mom how old the kid was, she said 4 years old. I'm pretty good with kids, but I've never babysat someone that young. I'm scared I'm not going to know what to do with him and what to talk about or like what games to play. I really dont want it to be awkward. I dont really know what 4 year old boys are into.

Any advice on how to have fun with this kid for a few hours? Also, is there anything extra I should know and be prepared for before babysitting him? Thanks a bunch!!
