Write a messageAs an experienced babysitter of three energetic boys and one dog, I am looking to get back into babysitting in my free time. From the age of 15-present I started babysitting three boys on Long Island, NY after school and for full days during summer vacation as well as weekends for date nights. I never saw it as work – I could go there tired from school but leave feeling very refreshed from the youthfulness of the kids. I started babysitting one of the boys when he was just an infant, alongside his three and 5 year old brother. The boys could be a handful at times, but I was able to establish boundaries with them that allowed me to gain their respect and reign them in when necessary. Although they are older now and don’t need a babysitter anymore I still go visit them a few times a year because I developed a good personal relationship with them and the mother and consider them to be like family. While babysitting I often cooked breakfast, lunch or dinner if needed, packed snacks, folded laundry and did crafting/baking activities with them. If they had after school activities I would either shuttle them there or go with the mom if she needed some support so I am very flexible. I can help with homework and computer activities as well. I personally love baking and cooking and would enjoy doing that with the kids to keep them busy. I can take them with me to food shop for the parents and am available any time after work on weekdays, weekend days or nights!
