Activities Your Babysitter Can Do with Your Kids: Enhancing Fun and Learning

Written by Lisa

When parents hire a babysitter, they're not just looking for someone to watch their children—they're looking for someone who can actively engage them, enhance their day with fun and enriching activities, and contribute positively to their development. At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we believe that the time spent with a babysitter can be both enjoyable and educational. Here are some creative activities that our babysitters are equipped to do with your kids, ensuring that their time together is delightful and beneficial.

Creative Arts and Crafts

Arts and crafts are fantastic for fostering creativity and motor skills. Our babysitters are prepared with a variety of arts and craft projects that are age-appropriate and engaging. Whether it’s painting, drawing, or making simple crafts, these activities not only stimulate creativity but also give children a sense of accomplishment when they see the final product of their work.

  • Activity Idea: Create a nature collage. Collect leaves, sticks, and flowers from the garden and use them to make a collage. This activity combines creativity with an opportunity to learn about nature and the environment.

Educational Games

Playing educational games can significantly enhance cognitive development and problem-solving skills. Our babysitters bring a selection of educational games that can be tailored to the age and interests of your children.

  • Activity Idea: Memory games using cards or everyday household items. These games improve concentration, train visual memory, and are a fun challenge that both kids and babysitters can enjoy together.

Storytelling and Reading

Storytelling and reading are essential for developing language skills and sparking imagination. Our babysitters are encouraged to read with your children and even create stories together.

  • Activity Idea: Interactive storytelling where the child helps to choose characters and plot developments. This not only makes the story more engaging but also encourages creative thinking and active participation.

Outdoor Adventures

If the weather permits and safety measures allow, outdoor activities can be a wonderful change of pace. Activities like playing in the park, simple sports, or a nature walk can provide physical exercise and help children learn about the world around them.

  • Activity Idea: A backyard treasure hunt with clues that encourage children to explore and solve puzzles. This can be an exciting adventure that also enhances their observational and problem-solving skills.

Cooking Simple Recipes

Involving children in cooking can teach them about food, measurements, and following instructions, all while developing life skills. Our babysitters can guide your children through the process of making simple, safe recipes.

  • Activity Idea: Making fruit skewers or decorating cookies. These are fun, safe cooking activities that allow children to be creative while enjoying the treats they make.
