I have been babysitting and house/pet sitting since I was a teenager. My brothers are significantly younger than me, so I started watching them early on. Then my junior and senior years of high school, I was a weekend nanny for a family with 3 boys who were 1, 3, and 5 when I started watching them. In college, I worked in daycare settings assisting in infant and toddler rooms to being a lead teacher for Pre-K and school-aged programs and babysat for individual families. After college, I was hired by one of my daycare families to nanny their children and remained with them for two years. Now that I have found my way into a different career path, I babysit and house/pet sit occasionally!
