I have baby sat for several families over the years, the first children were for my teacher in Leighton Buzzard when she left to go on maternity leave and once she had returned to work I looked after her baby and then when she had another baby I looked after her 3 year old and her new baby. As my teacher couldn't swim she wanted her sons to learn to swim so accompanied her to baby swimming classes so I looked after her toddler in the pooI while she was in the shallow end of the pool with her baby. I also babysat for another couple who had 2 girls aged 3 & 5 until they were 8 & 10 when I moved to MK; sometimes it was just in the evening but also overnight if their parents were going to be back home late.
