I am a young budding attorney from South Africa, trying to follow my dream of practicing law in the US, as a paralegal by day and a babysitter by night. Babysitting has come naturally to me, as I have looked after my baby cousins in South Africa, and now have babysitting experience in the States. I have taken care of kids from ages 6 months to a year and up to 12 years old. Initially it started with family and friends kids, which has now lead to a more professional part time job. During my babysitting experience I have realized that kids have taken a natural likening to me, that made me pursue it as a part-time job. I love taking care of kids because their pure nature and innocence and not to mention their young energetic minds give back to me more than I could ever ask for. While Read more sitting kids, I always maintain one primary rule, and that is, that the child is of utmost importance, and making sure that their needs are met first above all else.
