I've been babysitting since I was 14 years of age. I've mainly always babysat my little Nieces and Nephews like every weekend considering I still had school at the time. I've also worked at La Petite Academy in Omaha as a teachers assistant, so I got to spend a lot of time with kids and got to learn the way they work and everything. I've also learned that it's important to keep the kids entertained, but at the same time they should be given a time for reading, playing and also taking daily naps. I like to think I'm good with kids because I easily get along with them, the same way they do with me.
