Lol! At least right now.. LO is enough work as it is, I won't be offering to watch my niece and nephew for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982251 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:03:48 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 982251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I don't know! I baby sat my cousins but they were both over 5. I used to baby sit another family but they were ages 6-10 or so when I watched them.</p> <p>Probably only one baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982248 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:02:19 +0000 lizzywiz 982248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>younger that 18 months? 1. Seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982227 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:51:53 +0000 lilteacherbee 982227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 18 four year olds at work (with an assistant, but occasionally it's just me). Outside of that, probably 4 or 5 if they were younger kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982223 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:49:32 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 982223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 kindergarteners :) I've done 15 preschoolers. Of course these were in centers. Babysitting in my own home/someone else's home has been more like 4 of various ages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982174 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:29:22 +0000 Koolbreeze 982174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 kids and I regularly babysit for a family member. She is 16 months. I've also babysat our 4 year old niece a good bit (sometimes while having the other little girl too). I could probably easily handle a few more. Haha. I feel like I'm just meant to care for small children. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982171 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:28:49 +0000 JessKas 982171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The most I've ever watched on my own was 13 when I was a camp counselor. It was a pretty intense week, there was supposed to be a second counselor but she got sick last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982146 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:20:46 +0000 Mrs. Polish 982146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The most I've ever had is 5. It works, but is exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982144 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:19:10 +0000 Dandelion 982144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a teenager, up to 4 kids.</p> <p>Since having DS, I don't think I've had more than one other kid around for me to watch, and it's usually my niece or my bff's kid.</p> <p>I...don't like to watch most people's kids. I like kids, but not to babysit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-have-you-cared-for-at-once#post-982123 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:12:40 +0000 autumnlove 982123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far...only my kids who are 3 &amp; 19 months. I am going to babysit a 5 month old next week and I hope my toddler naps! </p>
