I sprung into the babysitting circuit in my town to make some easy money. I probably started around sixth grade, with some kids on my street.It always takes a while to adjust to a new family making sure the kids like you is obviously the main priority. I will say that children generally like me. Maybe it’s because I’m pretty much still a child at heart ’m always down for some coloring, watching Disney channel and playing tag in the yard.I love just being able to forget about any stress in my life and devote my hours of babysitting to making sure the kids have fun. It’s a pretty great form of stress relief, if you ask me. Being around children means you automatically have to smile, be playful, sensitive, and appropriate (mainly language), and for me it automatically puts me in a cheerful mood. And besides, what kids want Read more a babysitter in a bad mood?!Babysitting kids is truly a rollercoaster ride, because you never know what’s gonna happen go right or wrong. It’s extremely important, because you are responsible for someone else’s children, but it is also important because you are another role model for the children. They look up to you and watch the things you do and say, and learn from it.I love it because I get the chance to interact with adorable children, keep them safe, be a role model, and all while having a great time. Though some people may overlook babysitting, and not consider it all that important or not a “real job,” I take lots of pride in it and value the multiple relationships in my community it has allowed me to form.
