6 Things You Should Know BEFORE You Date A Babysitter, But You'll Find Out Soon Enough Either Way

I've been a babysitter since for about 4 years now, and my life has forever changed. There are certain things that people who date babysitters should know before getting into a relationship with a babysitter.

1. If you need something, I probably have it.

Need a band-aid? Ibuprofen? Gum? Candy? Whatever you need, we more than likely have it on us, in our purse, or in our car. If being a babysitter has taught us anything, it's how to be prepared.

2. If I see a kid in public, expect me to react.

I spend a majority of my time with tiny humans, so when I'm out in public without the tiny humans, expect an "Awww" or "Oh my goodness, that's a cute baby."

3. We don't want to talk about the superficial stuff.

Because we spend our day having conversations like "What do you want for lunch?" and "Do you need to potty?" so don't ask the superficial questions. Ask us about our beliefs and what we thinking about certain topics. Give me all the deep conversations.

4. I know what I want and I won't settle for anything less.

I'm a very busy girl and I don't have much time to waste on relationships that we don't see a future with.

5. I rarely dress up, because I'm rarely around adults.

If I put makeup on, fix my hair, and put on jeans to go somewhere with you, consider yourself lucky.

6. I love my job with my whole heart.

Don't be surprised if we're out to eat and I start showing you millions of pictures of my tiny humans. I spend more time with them than anyone else and they become my mini best friends. No matter what, I'll always be a babysitter, deep down, and those tiny humans will always be my little besties.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
