Hello friends, Wonderful day. I trust you are doing great. Another weekly prompt of @ladiesofhive is here and I am happy I'm participating.
No matter how excellent you are , you may not be the best at everything and if there's one task or job is being a Babysitter.
A Babysitter is someone appointed to take care of an infant when his parents are mostly not around.
No matter the advantages like feeding and accommodation that might likely come with the job, that's one job I will be terrible at 😂. I have a junior brother but I wasn't provided the opportunity to take care of him cus I was much more immature that time and had older ones who were assisting.
That doesn't mean as a woman I won't take care of my child or infant but taking care of someone else's child you have to be incredibly cautious and eyes shouldn't be left off the child even for a minute.

I could remember the last time my older sister who is married requested me to take care of my nephew while she went for a work interview. It was like torture for me. The infant started crying immediately after his mother departed. I had to stand and keep singing for him till he slept. And even after sleeping, laying him down on his cot was another difficulty. He would wake up immediately when he was placed down and started crying. I had to carry him strolling around the house and kept him on my chest so he wouldn't wake..
When his crying resumed again, I was to feed him but even to consume was a lot of tension. I just had to contact his mother to be quick because I was losing tolerance 🤣.
Just picture the anguish I would go through for even my nephew then what if it's a child who doesn't know me at all. I would first make acquaintances with him. His parents will leave him everyday with me for hours and I will make sure I take care of him and feed him. This work will make me not have time for myself and will be so difficult.
Taking care of children is not easy. That's why I appreciate every woman who is babysitting and I don't believe I will want to overstress myself for that kind of work. Maybe I will just keep exercising with my little nephew till I get married.
