“ I'm 18 years old and, ever since I was 12 years old, I have babysat. I watched my brother's kids who are now 10 and 4 which the 4 year old was just diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes, so I would give him his shots for insulin, check his blood sugar every 3 hours, add up the carbs in every meal to make sure he gets the correct insulin.

I'm 18 years old and, ever since I was 12 years old, I have babysat. I watched my brother's kids who are now 10 and 4 which the 4 year old was just diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes, so I would give him his shots for insulin, check his blood sugar every 3 hours, add up the carbs in every meal to make sure he gets the correct insulin. I have watched up to 5 kids at a time and the parents still came home to a clean house. I watch my sister's kids which are 1 and a half and 6 months old making sure they are well fed, nourished, bathed, and occupied weather its taking them to a park or popping in a movie! I now have a son who is 1-week-old and I'm looking to find a new job as a caregiver. I am very well looking forward to this type of job since it seems to be what I do best and I love working and helping other people, especially kids.
