I've been baby-sitting since I was 11 years old. I love kids, and since I don't have any of my own, it gives me a chance to interact with their playful, curious minds. My favorite kids to baby-sit are my twin 6-year-old nephews but they live two hours from me, so I don't get the opportunity often enough!
