Things Every Babysitter Has Gone Through, Even If They’re Not Part Of The Club

Many of us can remember our first time babysitting. Whether it was watching your younger siblings when your parents went out, your first real job watching the neighbor’s kid, or even helping out a friend as an adult, babysitting never gets easier.

We’ve all discovered the joys and horrors of the daunting task. While every babysitting experience is different, there are a few similarities we can all agree on. I mean, remember bathtime?

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the parents will be aware of this important trust exercise and even provide the snacks for you.
