30 Thoughts All Babysitters Have

I know that mommy doesn't let you have a snack before lunch -- nice try, though.

30 Thoughts All Babysitters Have

I love kids. And I love babysitting. There are days when the kids I babysit can be perfect little angels, but there are other days when they can drive me up a wall. But no matter what, babysitting is the best job I've ever had. If you're a babysitter like me, maybe you've had some of these thoughts.


1. I’m going to make today a good day.

2. Even though she can be a bit much to handle sometimes, the pay is worth it.


3. I’m so glad I don’t work retail anymore.

4. Little kids are easier to deal with than cranky, old customers.

5. I don’t feel like playing right now; I’ll just sit here and watch the kids play.

6. I hope there isn’t a hidden camera in this room.

7. They would think I’m just a lazy babysitter.

8. That isn’t true though; I played tag with them outside before.

9. And I did arts and crafts with them.


10. We could watch another episode of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" instead of playing Barbies for the fifth time today.

11. Maybe it’s an episode we haven’t seen, although I think I’ve seen every episode.

12. Oh wait, I definitely didn’t see this episode where the clubhouse loses all the color!

13. Ah yes, Princess Sofia is on next.

14. Do we have to go back outside? This is my favorite episode.


15. Please eat your lunch; if you don’t eat, you get cranky.

16. Not one more bite; three more bites of your pizza if you want a snack later

17. Do you think anyone would notice if I ate some of these potato chips?

18. Maybe I’ll eat some Oreos (there’s still a lot in this package), they won’t notice.

19. Why don’t you kids take a nap? Don’t kids like naps?


20. How do you remember the name of every stuffed animal and Barbie doll?

21. Sorry I called your doll by the wrong name.

22. Please just share with your sister. You aren’t even playing with that doll.

23. We just put on this Disney movie; maybe we could watch at least 10 minutes.

24. Please stop running; I don’t want you to get hurt.

25. Don’t make me call mommy and daddy.


26. Oh yes, I’m sure mommy said you could have as many cookies as you wanted.

27. Is it nap time yet? Oh right, you don’t take naps.

28. Don’t touch me with your paint-covered hands.


29. I didn’t have an iPad when I was your age.

30. You’re lucky you’re cute.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
