My first day of babysitting wasn't my idea of a fun time. It totally changed my mind about getting up close and personal with kids while playing any sort of game or doing any activity. I started babysitting when i was 14 to make a little cash and it wasn't a big problem because i absolutely loved little kids. I babysat for my moms friend, Sarah. I've known her since i was just a toddler, so i grew up being very close to that family. Then she had a baby and i was so excited because i would have a new buddy, i was hoping for a girl but that didn't happen. So she had a little boy named Ben. He was adorable, and i have always loved little babies.. As he got a little older, Sarah needed a weekend babysitter so she came and talked to my mom …show more content…
More of the day went by, and it was getting chilly outside so we went in and i made Mac and Cheese for dinner because that was Ben’s Favorite food. After he ate, we sat down and watched some cartoons and ate some popcorn. After he got tired of all the cartoons he wanted to do some puzzles at the kitchen table, so i got a few puzzles out and we started doing them and we were having a blast. He is a really smart little boy so he was really good at them. Here's when i started to not want to babysit ever again. Were sitting there and he coughed and he cover his mouth with his hand while his cheeks are all puffed out and looks at me for 5 seconds and i just said “Oh no” and puke flew out all over me and it was so much puke and i almost threw up from the smell of it. So i took him to the bathroom to put him in the shower and get new clothes for the both of us and there was still some puke on the kitchen floor. So after we got all cleaned up, i went to clean it off the kitchen floor and both of the cat’s were eating the puke and so i'd pick them up and move them then they would run right back and continue licking the puke. Not to long after i finally got all of the mess cleared up, one cat pooped on the carpet and the one one peed on the carpet and i was so furious. Clear to say i did get paid more after
I began babysitting at a young age by taking care of my cousins and my younger siblings. I realized that my interest in speech therapy developed at a young age. When I was 10 years old, I accompanied my little cousin Stephany to her speech therapies. She has a mild mental retardation that caused her to have speech problems. I wanted to help her be understood whenever she spoke so I went with her and her mom to her therapies. I enjoyed watching everything she did while she was in therapy and I learned so many things as well. At home, I would aide her with her homework and practice what she did in therapy. I learned many things from her and I knew I wanted to help children with disabilities. I never missed one of her therapies because I found them to be helpful and interesting. Attending her therapies impacted me in a good way because I comprehended how helpful speech pathologists are and how they can make a vast impact in a person who needs their help.
Hello! I have right around four years of experience with babysitting. I've also worked in a daycare so I am very used to high energy and stress environments. My dream is to become a pediatric surgeon so the more experience with children the better. I love arts and crafts and outdoor activities. I'm very experienced with animals as well. I actually raise chickens and dogs. I'm responsible and hardworking! I have training in cpr and first aid. I've also taken child development classes. I know it's hard to trust just anyone with your baby so I'm dedicated to earning your trust and
Working at a daycare taught me that children, although crazy, are unquestionably innocent. They would say they needed to use the restroom and urinate right then and there on the floor with no explanation given as to why they could not wait thirty more seconds. Some would scream and pretend to be dinosaurs while flapping their arms, and others would watch and observe more than they would speak. Sometimes the same child that would repeatedly run into me with his play car would be the child that ran to sit in my lap at story time. I found that the child that would not stop asking questions about anything and everything only wanted me to help him learn. I was given the opportunity see these children still bursting with ideas,
Babysitting is a very important job; teenagers are out in this world having babies while never having the knowledge of taking care of an infant, toddler, or child, and they need to babysit at least once to know what a child is like, before having one of their own. Every child is different; you will never babysit one that’s the same, if babysitting siblings, never treat one any different than the other, love them both the same. Furthermore, babysitting should advance you in child care, especially when it comes to what career choice you choose. With this in mind, babysitting is a very enjoyable job, and also knowing that the parents trust you with their children and know that you will protect them should bring you joy. While babysitting, one
Some people find babysitting difficult, in order to survive a night of babysitting you should use the following steps. First, you will need an abundance of energy. Children have tons of energy and they are always moving and you need to keep up with them. Next, you should keep the children busy. You should plan activities for the children to do such as painting, hide and go seek, and board games. If you do not plan any activities to keep the children busy they will create their own entertainment, which means more work for you.
I also helped teaching them songs or rhymes, playing games, cleaning up toys and cleaning up snack time. I did not realize the fun and excitement involved helping daycare children. It made me even forget that so much goes into just helping them stay organized. In addition, I learned more for volunteering at a daycare. As much as it was important for me to make sure children remain safe as they go about their duties, I was required to know some basic first aid and CPR. I was very privileged when they opted to teach and demonstrate to me the process involved in CPR so that I could be able to assist children and staff in case of any emergency. The job as a volunteer at the daycare required listening to children, offering comfort when needed like when they were dropped off at school and they looked sad. Again, at the daycare I noticed that play time was an important aspect. I realized that playing time with children helped children share with others and also help with their feelings through developing verbal and nonverbal communication skills. As a volunteer, the staff gave me the opportunity to participate in activities with the kids such as helping them with arts and crafts, reading, writing, dancing, singing, and playing games. Play time indeed helped the children to develop confidence which brought them out of their comfort zone. I think play time at the daycare helps motor
Someone once said that “Change always has an outcome.” This means that every change you make has a result, every choice you take has a consequence, and everything that happens has an effect. The outcomes of change can be shown through a person’s life, through a text and through the world itself.
Babysit. You’ll come away really wanting to have your own kids — or, after a long night of tantrums and juice spills, knowing you never want them.
Mother and I agree to make Oreo cupcakes, candy kabobs, m&m cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and trail mix. I had to work that afternoon and wouldn’t arrive home until nine at night, but mom wasn’t going to start with out me. I got off work smelling like pizza dough, and exhausted, but I knew I had work to be done for the bake sale. While mom was baking the Oreo cup cakes I was putting together candy kabobs. My gloves where all gooey from positioning all the gummy candy on the fondue stick, and my fingers where aching from the twist ties that where used hold the bags together. The good thing was the whole house was full of over whelming smells of cupcakes, cookies, candy, and icing. Finally, my mom and I finished, so we got everything packed up and prepared for the morning of the bake sale. I couldn’t wait to go to bed. We arrived early at seven in the morning to arrange the booth. The booth looked amazing, I just wanted to eat everything that was on the table. When all the booths were ready to go, families began approaching the booth buying our baked goods. The children really enjoyed the candy kabobs. All the kids were walking around with gummy, sticky faces, and kept returning to buy more. Those sold out fast! From eight o’clock a.m. to four o’clock in the afternoon, I stood on my feet trying to get folks to come over and contribute
I love working with children! Making fun activities for children to do and allowing them to learn in a comfortable evinroment. Helping them grow up with postive sloution skills. I have worked with a family of 3 for over 4 years. I watched children from ages 1-14. I grew up babysitting my 2 brothers from a young age. I am still attending high school and would love to babysit children in my off time.
I sat at the window staring at the wave of traffic waiting for my mum to come and pick me up. All the cars looked like a massive rainbow serpent moving along the road and I was trying to look for my mums purple car. Every morning when I was four I woke up and had to go to my baby sitter Ann’s house so I was thrilled, she had enough play dough that you could make a house and all the toys you could every think of but I loved it because I had friends there and we would play for hours on end.
Children's ages changes their attitude, behavior, and conduct. A babysitter should know how to deal with the needs of your children at their age. Also, make sure that they have the same morals and values that you do, so that your child will not become confused from conflicting ideas. Discipline is where most people differ in taking care of children, so talk to the potential babysitters and ask them about how they think disciplining should be done.
My first job was working as a teacher’s aide in the young two’s room at a local daycare. I had many duties to uphold while working there. I had to change diapers, prepare meals, plan lessons, maintain state required hours, learn about state licensing, and most importantly love the little ones who were in my care.
Babysitting is an intricate line of work that not everyone is suited to perform. Not only is it full of responsibilities, but there is also a child's life in your hands. In order to be a great babysitter, one must form a bond with the child or children. If the child does not like their babysitter, nothing but bad can come out of the situation. Forming a routine, being responsible, and changing stinky diapers are also all part of the job.
The night before my first day as a teacher I was scared. It was something totally different for me; it was something I had never done before. Yes, I have made some microteachings at the university, but that was not the same as been in an actual classroom with kids observing you and waiting for you to teach them something. In my head, there were questions such as What am I going to do? What should I tell to the kids? Is this how it is supposed to be done?
