I may not have all the fancy credentials but I have a huge family. I’m 17 years old and since I was 12, I’ve been babysitting, house sitting, plant sitting, and pet sitting, but mostly babysitting. I have 7 cousins that I’ve been responsible for countless times (I’ve watched all 7 at once a few times, ages from 2 months-14 years). I’ve officially babysat one behaviorally challenged 6 year old, a 6 month old, a 2 year old, and a 12 year old at the same time, and a 3 month old and a 2 year old at the same time. I’ve done things from therapy appointments to baseball games to patching up a bloody knee. I’m not cpr certified or anything YET but I have 5 years of experience plus 5 years before that of taking care of myself, I’ve been through all sorts of different situations with children, some serious and nerve racking while others are super fun and wild. I understand boundaries and family rules are different family to family, I understand that every child is different and therefore may require more effort or attention. I will treat your family and your child with the upmost respect.
