I have been babysitting since middle school, and after all these years, I still think that it is the best job ever. From getting endless hugs to going on adventures with your kids, babysitting might be the most fun and rewarding job out there. Here are 10 reasons why babysitting is the best job in the world.

1. You gain a family.

When you babysit for a family, it is almost like they become a part of your family. You spend every day watching over someone's kids and the bond you create is amazing. You then get to see your kids grow up and it's a great feeling.

2. You learn countless life lessons.

Sometimes when you are a babysitter, things don't always go as planned. You always have to have back up plan. This is a crucial thing to learn when you are working with kids.

4. You get to play all day.

Babysitting is mostly fun. You get to bring out your inner kid and play with kids all day. What other job lets you play? You also get to go to fun places like the zoo and waterparks.

5. You get to hang with cute kids.


Kids are the cutest and say the funniest things. Spending your days with kids is one of the most fun things to do.

6. Kids make you feel good about life.

Kids are mostly nice. They usually tell you how awesome you are and that you are their favorite. Every once in awhile, they will tell you that you should wear make up, but for the most part, they make you feel like you are important.

7. There is minimal stress.

Your biggest stressor is getting your kids where they need to be on time and making sure everyone's diapers are changed. Even when you are stressed, all it takes is a smile from one of your kiddos and everything else fades away.

8. Nap time is great.

When you are a babysitter, your full time jobs includes chasing around kids all day, so you get a built in work out, How awesome is that? The kids always keep you on your feet.

10. You get paid to do all these things.

Babysitting is such a great job you get paid for having fun and hanging with cute kids. I wouldn't trade my job for any other job in the world. I love my kids and my job, and enjoy every minute of it. Babysitting is for sure the best job in the world.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential.
