I started babysitting at age 10,  I babysat frequently  for my cousin's 1 year old child for about 6 years.  At age 22 I started  babysitting for my brothers children, ages 3 & 5, at my parent's home.  At 23 I was  taking & picking up the oldest from kindergarten and watching the 4 year old till my mother came home round 5:30pm.  I did this for 5 months until  I moved out of my parent's home.   For the next 10 years, for  one day/nite of the month, I had them over for pizza, watching movies, bowlling, playing games etc.  We had a lot of fun.  I have 2 sister's with two children each.  Their current ages are from 6 to 18.  i have watched these nieces and nephews as much as their parents can let me.  Their children are involved in many activities.  I have enjoyed all my nephews and nieces.   The only commitment I have Read more is to my dogs.  One shih-tsu and one mixed shih-tsu bichon.
