I started babysitting when I was 12 years old. During this time, I babysat for a variety of ages, from 1 month to 10 years. During my young years as a babysitter, I was able to babysit twins and those with special needs (such as physical and mental disabilities). My first official nanny job was when I was 15 years old and it was during the summer (3 months). At 16 I was hired as a caregiver for a service that provides care for disabled children. This was quite a fulfilling job for me and I learned that not only did I love all children, but that I could find joy in anything. I soon after went off to college and was hired on by the a reading program, helping teachers as a teacher's aide to help teach students who were struggling; I also worked in an after-school program (helping students with homework and providing a variety of after school activities). I found this quite fun and found that elementary age kids were quite enjoyable and their creativity refreshing. Soon after, I was done with my education (Bachelor's) and was working in a child care center in a recreation center. This was so much fun, and I found that doing sports and other activities with kids is a blast.
