So my mom has been wanting me to get a job.
I didn't want to wait tables, so I found a local website for paid babysitters and childcare givers and made a profile. On sunday, I got a call from a guy that made it sound like I was going to be assisting his wife in caring for a few children, like one of those home daycare things. He said they'd pay me six dollars an hour to start Monday.
So Monday after school my mom drove me to the address so she could meet Diana, the lady.
When mom left, Diana explained to me that she did not run a home daycare. I had misunderstood her husband, Eric. Basically, they needed a babysitter for their 21 month old only child, EJ. She told me they'd been taking EJ to daycare, but he'd gotten sick there and they didn't like it, so they were trying sitters until they found one that fit EJ.
Monday was my trial run. I took care of EJ with Diana home doing her household chores.
I gave him his snack, his bath, and helped a bit with his dinner. Diana was shocked. She said I was the best sitter they'd had so far. She was amazed at how smoothly EJ's bath time went. I got him out and dressed without a fight or any sort of tantrum, and Diana said it usually took both her and Eric to get him out without splashfest complete with kicking and screaming.
Eric came home about a half hour before I was scheduled to leave. Diana told him how great I was with EJ and they agreed not to let me go! I am officially hired as EJ's babysitter at six dollars an hour and I love it!
I got a few pictures of him, but I'm posting from my phone so they'll be up later on.
