I have experience with watching children from the age of 10 months to 13 years old! I started babysitting for my neighbors who were in the 1st and 3rd grade at the time, when I was 12 years old. I would usually get them off the bus after school or watch them on the weekends when their parents went out. I would keep an eye on them while they were in the pool during the summer, go sledding in our backyards throughout the winter months, or watch movies, color, prepare food, and play Wii with them in between. Besides watching my neighbors while growing up, I also have an uncle with three kids, ages 3, 5, and 7. The youngest of the 3 children is my baby cousin who was born with Down Syndrome who I've watched since he was 10 months old. In addition to taking care of these Read more loved ones, I also worked at a summer camp taking care of kids from Pre-K age to that of the 5th grade. I love to read to kids, play educational games with them, make crafts, and cook!
