Being that I have a younger sister, I grew up having to look after her. Because of this experience, I ended up landing a few babysitting jobs with all types of kids. For over a year I babysat a 7 year old boy with a reading disability. I spent a few hours a day reading with him in order to improve his reading skills. I also had to take care of their two dogs which was great because I love animals. I grew up in a neighborhood where I was one of the oldest kids, so I always had to babysit the younger children. I worked in a camp with children ages 4-12 which is how I got to meet parents and land babysitting jobs. I have two nieces and two nephews, youngest being 2 and oldest being 8, and ever since they were little I had to change their Read more diapers, feed them, and make sure they were in bed at a certain time!
