When I think about my future, I see myself married with three to six kids. Wow, I know that's a lot of kids. But I never really wanted kids growing up. I wanted to be able to travel the world, not be responsible for anyone but myself, and eventually be a teacher so my students could be my kids. This may sound cliche, but one day a light went off in my head and I knew I wanted to be a mom (not right now of course). But first I had to learn how to take care of a child. That's when I started being a babysitter. It has and will always be one of the best decisions I have made. Here are some of the things I learned from babysitting and pictures of "my kids".
1. You may forget
When it comes to children, you may forget their blankets, favorite snack, or what time they are supposed to go outside and they will still love you.
2. Children are not jaded by society
Sometimes I wish I could be small again. To not know the hypocrisy of the world and society. Children are able to live in a world with blinders of love. They see who you really are not what your skin color is.
3. Being creative is a must
It never ever fails that the kids will want to do something cool and fun every different day. You have to have a creative mind to find things for them to do.
4.Problem Solving
Each day will come with its own problems and issues. Having creativity helps you to come up with solutions for those problems.
5.Dependability
If you have to pick the children up from school, dance, piano, soccer, etc, you have to be on time. The parents have to be able to depend on you to succeed at your job.
