How to play Babysitting Mania on Mac

Game summary

Babysitting Mania is a simulation-style, time-management game developed by Gogii Games and iWin and available for OS X, Microsoft Windows and the Nintendo DS. The game allows the player to babysit many virtual children while cleaning the house and managing parties all under a certain time limit. The game is available for free as a download from iWin.com. The player has a limited amount of time to keep the chaos meter down by clicking items with a red outline, washing clothes, or putting rubbish in the bin. If the player does not manage the chaos, the player will not be able to put the children to bed. If the player does not do it before the parents come home then the player will have to retry the level. To make it more difficult, there are different and larger houses in which the kids get more chaotic.

Play Babysitting Mania on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Babysitting Mania on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Babysitting Mania installation steps for Mac

Step 1

Step 4
