I am a mother to a 4 year old boy, and also have a 10 year old stepson. I started babysitting when I was young for my nieces and nephews since they were babies. I then started babysitting for family friends when i was 16. One of the families I babysat for over night, if they went away for a trip I would watch the girls(age 3 and 6) for sometimes up to a week. Would bring them to school, pick them up. I also went on vacation with them to help with the girls. I also have watched my friends babies, my great niece and nephews since they were babies. I love children. It's been awhile since I have babysat for kids other then my family members or close friends. I have taken cpr classes but it's been awhile since then. Any child i watch I treat like i Read more would my own. I also like to do activties with the children,like arts and crafts and painting.
