Top Ten Reasons We LOVE Being Babysitters

By Christina Oliver and Harmony DeRose

The Relationships: meeting new people and getting to connect with families.

Seeing the smile on the family's faces when they get home and everything is better than they ever expected: a picked up house and happy kids!

Being Requested By a Specific Family: knowing you mean as much to a family as they mean to you.

Creativity: getting to enjoy art projects, games, dress up, toys and crafts as a grown up.

Smiles: seeing a child's face light up from the little things.

The PERFECT job: we get paid to have fun!

Going New Places: having a great excuse to see the new kid attractions in town.

Introducing children to new experiences: seeing that look of discovery on their faces.

Holding a baby while he sleeps: experiencing all the great baby moments.

And of course, The Kids! Head to toe, they are the reason we do what we do.
