Working with children has taught me some of the most valuable lessons in my life.
Being a babysitter has taught me independency, responsibility, and time management. Some people think babysitting is the easiest job but they really don't know all the hard work it entails.
Babysitting made me become the independent person I am today.
Ever since I started babysitting I was able to afford my self economically.
Even though I lived with my mom when I started this kind of job,

I had to do their laundry, make their beds, prepare meals, and bring them to different activities during the day.
I remember the first day it was extremely overwhelming. Whether I liked it or not I had to make all those things happen.
The responsibility babysitting has taught me made transitioning to college easy.
Before entering freshman year, I knew how to take care of myself (plus 3 kids), do laundry, prepare my own meals, and manage my time.

I had to learn how to balance my school work along with babysitting.
My time management skill has been most helpful in college.
I have no problem balancing my school work, free time, and going out.
