Five-year-old Johnny is dying for something delish, but he wants to have his cake and eat it, too—right before dinner. What do you say?

“One piece can’t hurt, just don’t tell your mom!”

“Sorry, not till after dinner!” But if he cries, you give in with just a bite.

“If you eat all your veggies, you can cake after dinner!”

3	After an intense round of hopscotch, little Annie took a tumble and scraped her knee. She won’t stop crying and you’re not a big fan of blood. You… Freak out and call the parents ASAP. Slap a Band Aid on it. Calm Annie down, take charge, clean the boo-boo and tell the ‘rents when they return.

4	Six-month-old Cassie won’t stop crying and it’s been 20 minutes. What do you do? Nothing, eventually she’ll cry herself to sleep. Offer her a favorite teddy bear or blanket to calm her down. Check her diaper, give her a bottle, and if all else fails, rock her to sleep.

You and the kids are enjoying another showing of Shake it Up! when all of a sudden there’s a loud noise outside the house. You…

Ignore it. It’s probably just a neighbor’s dog running around in the yard.

Leave the kids inside the house and investigate the noise yourself.

Immediately turn on all the lights, make sure all doors are locked, windows are closed and phone a neighbor for advice.

It’s getting late and you’re super-tired from 10 games of Twister. The kids are sleeping and that sofa is looking more comfortable by the minute. What do you do?

Curl up on the sofa for a quick catnap. Who’s going to know?

Tune into the latest marathon of America’s Next Top Model. You deserve a break.

Make sure all the toys are put away, dishes are clean and the house is in perfect order for the parents’ return.

You’re playing with Justin and Joey, 4-year-old twins, when all of a sudden your BFF stops by for a surprise visit to keep you company. You…

Invite her in. Let the party begin! You can’t wait to dish all the dirty deets about your crush from algebra.

Say she can only stay for 15 minutes tops! After all, you could use a little help with the rugrats.

Kindly let her know you’d love to hang out, but you’re working. Agree to call her when you’re finished for a dish sesh.

It’s bath time! You’re scrubbin’ Susie clean from head to toe when your cell phone rings. What do you do?

Leave Susie in the tub and answer the phone. She’ll be OK for a couple of minutes.

Ask her big bro to watch her for two secs while you grab the phone.

Let it ring and continue playing with Susie and her rubber duckie. That’s what voicemail is for!

9	You’re getting ready for a first-time gig. What’s in your babysitting bag of magic? Your iPhone, nail polish and laptop. A couple Happy Meal toys, homemade cookies for the kids, and a good book. A First Aid kit, list of emergency numbers, coloring books, crayons and games.

The house is clean, the kids are sound asleep and the parents are finally home. What do you do?

Grab your things and go! It’s been nice, but you have things to do, people to see.

Smile and ask them about their evening while you patiently wait for them to pay you.

Give them a full, detailed report about what you did with the kids, what they ate, and what time they went to bed. You don’t miss a thing!
