Babysitting

Between babysitting and my job at Toys R Us, I constantly find myself around children. As I’ve been told by teachers and band directors, I know I must act as an example so these kids strive for greatness. Rather than give into my inner demons and walk away from such opportunity, I give advice and direction to curious children who approach me. It’s a surreal moment when I tell children that although school isn’t the most pleasant or easy, it’s definitely worth all the stress and pain to be able…

On a cold dark night, there was a teenage boy named Ryan who was babysitting two twins. The twins names were Ethan and Adam. Ryan was having fun with the twins, they played a board game, watched tv, and ate ice cream. A few hours past by and it was time for the twins to go to bed. So while Ethan and Adam got ready for bed there was something on the news saying there was a mental patient that escaped from a hospital. The news said keep your door locked. Ryan knew that the twins were upset so he…

The dictionary describes babysitting as looking after a child while the parents are out, however babysitting is more than that. “In New Zealand it is illegal to have a child under the age of fourteen in charge of minors.” (Sunday Mail (Adelaide)). Babysitting takes a lot of work, therefore, the babysitter needs to be of an age where they can handle any challenge babysitting comes with. Babysitting is a very serious job and is no role for an irresponsible young adult. To handle the trust, job,…

Babysitting for a single night can be challenging, let alone five. I was a councillor at a five day science camp out in the middle of the woods. At first, I was reluctant to even sign up--not because of dislike for work or children, but I am a severe introvert who barely likes leaving the house. Despite myself, adventure calls to me, so I agreed anyway. The first day, I was very late to the opening meeting. They were understanding due to the fact that I lived hours away and had to be there so…

Last summer I began babysitting for a couple that I have never met before, which was very nerve wracking meeting them at first, thankfully I got the privilege of taking care of two sweet kids.This was a very fun summer, we went to their grandparents pool, played football in the front yard, and on rainy days I would play videogames with Jacob and do whatever crazy things Molly had come up with. Babysitting has definitely taught me many different things such as how to take care of and watch…

My First Time Babysitting It was a dark rainy Friday evening, school just let out for the weekend and I was free except I still had one thing to do left, as I was doing a weird walk jog across the campus while trying not to get soaked just to get to the main building, as my phone started to make this weird ringing noise and obviously I got a bunch of looks. When I looked at my phone I saw that my dad was calling me and when I answered my dad told me not to walk home in the rain and just wait it…

babysit two three year-old demons. You can never be sure whether or not the screams are of joy or pain. Babysitting can be entertaining as well as completely terrifying. I absolutely treasure opportunities to look after children because it's experience for high-school if I decide to further pursue babysitting. It's a great way to make money outside of having a real job. One of my adventures in babysitting takes place with my aunt and uncle. Over the summer, I went to go visit my aunt Kim and…

In the essay, “Stop Babysitting College Students” has many argumentative inconsistencies and logical fallacies. One example of a logical fallacy the author made would be in paragraph 3 “But if they can drink responsibly, then let them have a good time.”(Harrop, 41) This statement that the author had made does not support his argument. Harrop should give reasons and evidence why this would support his argument. The author talks about how “binge drinking is more about binge than drinking” (Harrop,…
