Personal Narrative: A Career As A Babysitter

I began working when I was 14. My first babysitting job was for my newly divorced neighbor with a one month old baby named Alexa. I loved being able to give Alexa's mother, Brianna, some time to go out with her friends and relax. However, Alexa was just the tip of the iceberg for my career as a babysitter. Since then I have nannied and babysat for a variety of families ranging from ages 2 weeks to 14 years old. During the summer of 2016 I began nannying for a family with two middle school girls. I worked Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. Throughout the course of the summer I encountered many adult situations that have made me grow as an individual. Between calling AAA to come fix my tire that had a massive chunk of metal wedged in it to breaking
up your typical sisterly fights i've learned lifelong skills. Currently I babysit at least once a week for a family with a three year old, one year old, and two weeks old. I've bonded with this family as I've grown as their family has grown. I can strategically change a baby's diaper without him peeing on me while simultaneously entertaining a three year old with my 'Mickey voice.' As the years of working with young kids blew by I began to discover my passion. Making a cold smile is one of the best feelings in the world. I'd like to go into a medical field, as of now nursing, that brings happiness into a child's life that may be struggling with severe illnesses.
