Babysitting is a new trendy business, and there are many online companies. So whether you are an adult or a teenage babysitter, you always want to go prepared to your engagement, get some interesting activities ready for your evening with the kids. The following are two great activities that can be great fun for them. Remember the more you entertain them, the more likely the parents are to call you back again.

Bubble making Activity - Kids have so much fun with something so simple as bubbles, and they have even more fun when they make the bubble stuff themselves. You will need a few ingredients to make this happen. Bring corn syrup and dish soap with you.

1/3 cup of water 1/3 cup of dish soap 2 spoons of light corn syrup

Mix everything up and use one of the kids bubble blowers to blow bubbles. If they don’t have a bubble blower then use some of the kitchen utensils. Anything that has a hole in it will work, like a handle, or a potato masher, or an apple peeler.

Another great activity you can do with the kids is making play dough from scratch. To do this, you will need cream of tartar, water, salt, flour, food coloring, and vegetable oil.

4 teaspoons of cream of tartar 2 cups of boiling water 2 cups of flour Food coloring 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil 1 cup of salt

Add the coloring to the water that is boiling. Add all the rest of the ingredients and mix well, the more you nead the dough the nicer the consistency will be. Store the whole thing in a plastic container. You can either make this with the kids or before you go to your babysitting engagement.

The above are just two great activities you can do with the kids. You can find many more options online. If these two activities are not enough for one night throw in a cool Disney movie and some popcorn. They will have had so much fun, that they will be ready to do something relaxing.
