[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605953, member: 14557"] You are paid so it is work and that is different than looking after your own kid or even grandkid. So I would do like with any other work. Ask your employer how they want you to do your work. Do they wish you to arrange more structured activity to the kids or do their prefer free play and how much they want you to be involved in that. You can also come up with different types of fun things to do and redirect kids to those, when the play is going to the direction you don't enjoy. Reading is good, so are crafts etc. And definitely ask thweir usual routine and structure and stick to that. Do also remember to ask which kind of discipline strategy they use and stick to that too. This will be a first time you look after them so they are likely enthusiastic to show their toys and tell you everything important. That can be exhausting, so plan some more structured things to do to have breaks. Reading their favourite books, asking them to draw something etc. often work well. [/QUOTE]
