Personal Narrative: The Challenges Of Babysitting Children

Decent Essays
Babysitting kids was not something that I have done before. It was a challenge that for me, I never expected. When my niece was born it was an excitement because she was my first niece. Joy was what I felt at the beginning of her arrival. As a baby I would start taking care of her and she was not much of a problem. However as she kept getting older, she was starting to become a problem. Their was attitude change and most of the time her parents would not care and accept her attitude just because she was the only child. For me is something I did not want to deal with because most of time I would take care of her during the school week. She would intervene with my school work, and as I saw her attitude become worse I wanted to stop taking care

    A third potential way I see this article by Jessica Lahey relating to me is as a future. I may be young, but not too young to think about how my upbringing and temperament may impact my future parenting style. I think myself and others my age should take this piece and think about the magnitude of the advice the author is offering. I do not want to be the mom who puts her children at a disadvantage by never letting them stand on their own two feet. I have a strong maternal instinct and desire to protect.…

    The Kindergartner who was outside to play unsupervised got into a fight. I was meant to watch how he was doing, do a lap and ask how he was playing, while outside he was running around and said, “They are telling secretes about me and they are not telling”.

I am a babysitter to a three-year-old boy named Nathan. I love him to death and love my job although some days he makes me want to just pull all my hair out and complain. Nathan is what I would call a normal three-year-old boy, he gets wild, loud, does not want to listen to anything and if you can name it, he has done it at least once at some point.…

    Throughout everything I’ve done so far in my lifetime, my best job was working as a babysitter. Being a babysitter is fun, comfortable, and you gain great relationships. Just because you're a babysitting, it doesn't necessarily mean you should physically watch them but actually get involved with activities you can do in the house. By just so watching them it can become a bore for you and perhaps the child. Babysitting can be fun because we both can enjoy a good board game or watch movies together.…
