Babysitting

I love how everyone complains about babysitting. Seriously it's the easiest thing ever. Well in most cases it's not the easiest but it surely isn't the hardest thing someone could do. I babysit every friday night. I watch my little cousins Gage and Macen. They listen pretty much all the time. I get paid 20 dollars to play air hockey or play the DJ Hero on the wii. Well this summers I'm going to be babysitting my little cousin Payton (Pj for short.) She is going to be 7 and a half months old, and this will be a little harder then babysitting a seven and ten year old. It is still not that complicated thought. Well I guess it would be hard for some people, but I love kids so much that taking care of kids just comes naturally to me. I am dating a really sweet boyfriend who happens to have six brothers and sisters, and every single one of them are 12 or younger. They all love me and everytime I am over there they are all over me, ecspecially his littlest sister Katelynn which everyone calls Sissy. She is two and I am always dressing her up and doing her hair and painting her nails, I guess you could say that because I am fun kids like me. I am constently running around playing tag with the little boys or constently playing dress up or babies with the little girls. I just love making kids laugh and smile and seeing them having fun is all that I need to make my babysitting career sucessful. Plus you can make some good money with just taking care of a kid or a few kids and just having fun with them and playing games. I am not a babysitter who just sits on her butt and watchs t.v or talks on her phone, which by the way I can't satnd texting while babysitting. The only reason that my cell phone is on when I am babysitting is when I need to get ahold of parents, or they need to contact me. Otherwise I am off my phone and 'being a kid' with the kids.

  2. Halley, I agree that babysitting can be easy but as you say your are going to babysit your little cousin thats 7 months.I think that it would be easier to babysit a 7 month old because i think they are easier to entertain.

  4. I agree with you that babysitting is a pretty easy job. It can be hard with multiple kids or really little kids, but if you bring a friend along to help babysit it can make things a little bit easier.
