[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 13, the family I babysat for had a new baby (they already had 4 children, this was baby 5.) I started keeping the new baby (with the others) within weeks. I was exceptionally good with babies and children though and this was apparent to the family. I'd already been babysitting for them and other families for 2 years. I was in high demand![/quote] Similar, but the new baby was child 3. I’m guessing he was maybe 3 weeks old when I started sitting for him. As a parent myself I cannot fathom leaving a 13 year old with a weeks old baby, let alone a 5 year old, and a 7 year old to boot. We only left our kids with family or a sitter from the daycare they already knew until they were 3 or 4. [/quote]
