First baby sitting job

Some I’m baby sitting my little cousin for a bit. And I never realised how much free time toddlers have. What are some activities for toddlers that they can do during the day?

Rather than play nursery rhymes, I think you should sing the nursery rhymes yourself. Toddlers respond better to a human rather than a screen. Not to mention, they get enough screen time anyway.
You can also draw or read a book with them.
You can create a little area with toys. Make sure there is nothing dangerous nearby and they should be happy enough to play independently.
If they show you something, interact with them. Explain what it is and try to teach them new words.
