I've been part-time babysitting since I was about fourteen years old; I started doing it to help out my parents' friends who had functions to attend but were unable to take their children. When I was eighteen, my boss adopted two young children and hired me to babysit during business functions and during business travels. His son and daughter needed love and care, and I feel I provided this, as well as help with their homework for about 3-4 years. Children I babysit hold a special place in my heart - I play their games and correct "bad" behavior (for lack of better words), mainly according to parental guidelines. I do not scold, but I do let them know what they've done "wrong", why it is not appropriate, and how to correct it. Currently, I have cared for two sisters for about two years, and they are a joy to Read more have. I used to babysit on weekends, and some weekdays, but now I babysit once a week, and I pick them up from school to take them to gymnastics practice. Thank goodness, I have never had any problems or issues arise, but I do keep my CPR training current, should I ever need it. Although I have no children of my own, I have helped raise my niece, and I understand the importance of watching a child play and/or joining them instead of simply allowing them to entertain themselves by watching television all night long. I am a great communicator! I have had to cancel on parents only a handful of times in my 10+years babysitting, but have let them know with ample time (called or texted), and cancellations were made only due to extreme circumstances. For parents with questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me! ---Allie P.
