Thoughts on Babysitting

Personally, I love babysitting. I think that it is the best job in the world. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always loved taking care of kids. First my dolls, then my siblings and volunteering with kids. It's just always been something I've enjoyed. It's a part of me. That is one of the reasons I love babysitting. You get to play with and take care of little kids. And unlike your siblings, they adore you! My siblings like me and all, but it makes no difference to them whether I'm watching them or not. "Meh, It's just Sarah. We see her every single day. She lives with us. Nothing special." But when it's someone elses kids, they absolutely love it when you come. "Oh my gosh! It's Sarah! Sarah's coming! Oh happy day! She's going to play with us and read us stories! Yippee!!" I must say, it's a nice change of pace. Remember how you used to feel when your parent's hired a babysitter? How you'd rush to the door to greet them? They'd play with you-whatever you wanted!; They'd read to you, watch tv with you, bake with you, do all sorts of fun stuff! You could probably tell which babysitters loved their job and which didn't. And when they left, you couldn't wait until they came again. Well, now the roles are reversed. YOU are the sitter. YOU are the one that the kids ask about day's before you come. YOU are the run they rush to the door to greet! It's a great feeling. Plus, you get paid to experience all of the above!
Now, this is my personal opinion. Maybe your siblings absolutely adore you and act like it is a huge treat when you babysit them. If so, can we trade siblings? Jk, jk. Well, now that I think about it......Hehehe. ;)

Well, these are my thoughts on babysitting, the best job in the world. And no, this is not the last you'll hear on the subject, either. ;)
