I have been babysitting since I was old enough to be trusted to care for a child younger than I, I would often watch the neighborhood kids and became a regular weekend babysitter. At the age of 18 I started helping my oldest sister run her day home, which included 7 other children, I soon met a few parents through the day home looking for a sitter out of regular day home hours and stuck with one family for the next 2 years, occasionally watching their 2 children (boys) ages 2 and 4 at the time. After a year the parents asked me to become more full time and soon became a live in nanny Wednesdays-Sundays. I found the experience so rewarding and quickly grew to love the boys as if they were my own family. due to scheduling I had to leave that job and have been missing those experiences ever since leading me to hopefully find a new family to care for and share new experiences.
