I have been babysitting for four months now if we’re speaking professionally I’ve always been the caregiver for the youths in my family younger siblings cousins etc . My first babysitting gig was a 9 yr old boy with autism and adhd . I enjoyed the experience that caring for him gave me so I decided this is something that I want to do make kids feel understood and seen and provide extra care and a extra hand 😊.
