Today I’m babysitting a troubled child. It’s a girl that a friend of mine who works with troubled kids for a living keeps for a while each summer. Hubby and I watched her a couple of days last week, but today it’s just me, her and Pumpkin.
Things have gone pretty well. She’s really not a bad kid, but I worry about her telling Pumpkin things I would rather her not hear at her age. So I’ve been keeping a close eye (and ear) out. The worst that has happened so far is them pretending that they had been kidnapped. That was one day last week, and Hubby put a stop to that quickly.
This is actually the first time I’ve ever babysat for pay. I’ve watched other people’s kids before, but it’s always been as a favor. I don’t plan on making a career out of babysitting or anything, but the money is helping us out. And it’s not going to be for much longer anyway. So it’s all good.
