It’s hard to put a number on the years of experience I have had. I babysat cousins, and neighbouring kids, as a teen. Then, in my early 20’s, I lived with a young family of 3 kids - the mum being an ECE - for 2 years. I have found that kids are often drawn to me, & I to them. I would say I have a ‘common sense’ approach when it comes to babysitting :)
