The youngest that I have ever babysat was 12 years old. I know 12 isn't very young but for me it is. At 12 I was barely 80 pounds and i guess you could say i was a little immature. Now i am 17 and as mature as I possibly could get. Well I am going to tell you about how I became that way. How 4 children can change your life in a matter of months! Just sit back and learn from my experiences!
I hand come home from a long day at school hoping to just kick back and relax. My mom walked through the door throwing her things all on the floor that i had just cleaned minutes before.When she looked at me she could see the anger on my face. she took a deep breath and sat on the couch reading her book for a good 20 minutes. I could have burned a hole in the back of her head from the glares I was giving her.She finally decided to address me and put her book down. I began to speak but she cut me off telling me to just listen. she started by telling that she had talked to my grandma , and that my grandma had informed my aunt Heather that my plans were to go into cosmetology. My aunt told my grandma that she would like for my to come visit for the summer and work/learn at a salon, and that she would pay me. But I had to call my aunt and talk to her myself to find out when I would be there and when I would leave.
It was decided that i would stay at my grandparent's house for the summer and work at my aunts salon called jack & jills children salon.the plan was that my grandparents were to come to a wedding in utah and pick me up then we would drive back to washington. while i was away at girls camp just a week before i was suppose to leave had got a text from my mom. she was informing me that my grandpa was very sick and was in the hospital and that, and that they were no long making a trip to washington for the wedding and therefore they would not be picking me up. but my mom figured it all out and had a plane for my to get on the day after i got back from camp. i was nerves cause it was the first time i had ever been on a plane without an adult.
when i got home from camp i my clothes in 2 hours so i could go hang out with my 2 best friends ninja and fishy before i left (my birthday was in 6 days and one of my friends was the day after mine) ninja and i went to west winds were fish was working. she brought out some cake and ice cream and put candles in it for us to blow out. ninja blow the candles out before i could even think about it so fishy lit the candles for me and sang to us. as soon as
they were done singing i blew the candles and the whipped cream that was on the cake ended up all over ninjas face. we cleaned up the mess and fishy finished work then took us home we did a group hung for i was to leave the next day. I walked into the house to find everybody had gone to bed but my mom. i said goodnight and went to bed.
the next day i woke and headed on my way to the airport with my mother. we sat in the airport for about an hour then said our goodbyes. i was on the plan for 1 ½ hours. i met up with my parents to head to their house. the next day i was to go straight to work. i met all of my co-workers. some were younger some were older but they were fun.... the first day i worked my aunt ella asked me if i would babysit for her all day on saturday while she worked and then stay the night at her house she she could go hang out with her friends. saturday came up fast and i thought it would be easy. but to my surprise it was so not easy. my aunt has 4 kids all under the age 7. the oldest is kayla she’s 7 and she’s thee most annoying bratty rude girl i have ever met in my existence. then there is the twins tyras and sorjen they are 5 and they may look exactly the same but they don't act the same. sorjen is very calm and quiet and tyras is a stinker and extremely hyper. and then there is brennan whom is 3 and he is my favorite he is so cute when i would wake up my eyes would wake up to him laying next to me waiting for me to wake up so he could hug me. but he can also be a little stinker when it comes to bedtime. i learned that children have different attitudes some are calm and caring and behave, others are rebellious annoying rude and misbehave, and some are both.
i now know how difficult it is to raise 4 children on your own there is the wonderful highlights, and then there is the horrible mishaps. it has changed my attitude about adults and why they get mad so easy. i now treat adults a lot different and i know how difficult it is. even though i loved those four children especially brennan, i do not want to raise a family on my own like my aunt is doing.It it musch more difficult to raise for children on your own and I wish my aunt didn’t have to but she is doing an amazing job at it.
