I have been told I'm a bit quirky and weird. Ever since I was 10 I was always told to go play with the smaller kids because I could keep them occupied while the parents did their thing, drinking/playing pool/discussing bills/etc. Even as I got older it was still me to take care of them. My mom always told me it was because I acted like their friend. Instead of someone that would bend them over my knee and spank them. Normally if a kid does something wrong. I give them warnings and then I send them to time out. I do my best to not resort to making them go to time out like having compromises and such. I can cook basic meals such as spaghetti and hamburgers. I'm also okay with ordering take out if the parent(s) allows it. I babysitter for about 8 months for two little Read more girls. One was 7 and the other was 11. I stopped as my parents took most if my money and I'm just now getting back into it. As someone who has grown up with 5 younger siblings and several young cousins, I feel like I can take on any kid. My youngest brother has anger issues and is bipolar, so I can also handle kids with disabilities if they have them. I always follow the rules I am given by the parent. I follow the schedule if I'm given one. I'm not CPR certified, however in order to graduate my school forced every senior to take one lesson, even though most of them were already CPR certified. I know how many pushes to give and to know when a situations calls for an ambulance and when one calls for just booking it to the nearest hospital.
