Take along a Bag of Secret Toys and Tricks

Kids get bored with their own toys. So if you show up with a bag of secret toys, you’re going to be their favorite person. It can be fun to decorate a bag just for your babysitting charges, too. You might even want to refer to it as your magic bag or some other enticing name. Packing a few tricks in there for when the evening’s going rough is a good idea, too.

Add Sprinkles to Everything

Aren’t sprinkles fun? Even as an adult, you have to admit they make treats a little more special. This is one of the things you might want to pack in your magic bag. Add sprinkles to their ice cream, pancakes or even their milk. You’ll be their favorite sitter ever.

Make Monster Spray to Use in the Event of a Monster Emergency

Monster spray can save the day when your babysitting charges are afraid of the dark. You can spray the room with monster spray to make it safe for them to sleep. Monster spray doesn’t have to be anything special. Water by itself is fine or you can add some glitter to give it a special touch.
