Welcome message:
Hi. My name is Linda. I love kids and treat them like my own. I started babysitting at the age of 15. When I was in my 20's I helped raise my friends granddaughter. Some times at her house and a lot in my apartment. I raised my sisters daughter. Because she didn't want to care for her. I took care of a family's children while they went on vacation for 2 weeks. Kids in my complex would come over and ask me if I could play. We would play games, watch cartoons, have a snack, and whatever they wanted to do. A little boy would come over everyday go to my fridge. and get himself a piece of cheese. I thought that was the cutest thing. One day I had three girls with me. They told me to pretend like I was sleeping. So I did. When I got to look. They had made my bed. Did a good for their age. And dusted my kitchen table. I hugged and thanked them. And told them they did a good job. My manager had a boy and a girl. So when my sister would bring me both of her kids to me, my manager would call me and say do you want to change kids. So he had the boys and I had the girls. On his daughters birthday I baked a cake for her and gave a slumber party for her. We all had fun.
