Dear families, I started caring for children when I was only 14 years old and never stopped until now. 10 years ago I did my 'licence for babysitting'. It helped to learn the basics about how to deal with children and infants. But my real experiences I gained the years after. All in all I helped around 11 families until now. During all the time I picked them up from the kindergarden, went with them to the playground, played with them and was there for them when they needed to be comforted. I like being a role model for children and help them in different situations but I alspo like that I can learn so much from them. With another family I was was often in the evening and at night. So I put them to bed and helped them fall asleep. This experience helped me to understand children and their fears.
Another family I am helping has three children. I helped them 4-5 times a week in the afternoon/evening. They have two daughters and one son. Usually they have an au pair so I was there for the in between time. It was a very great experience because I could get an inside in what being an au pair is like. My duties were to play with them, bath them, dry their hair, dress them, make them dinner, help to bring them to bed and a lot more. I learned to make compromises with them and .
These are only some examples of my experiences so far. I also worked wit teenagers in form of a youth group and I regularly supervise holiday games for children.
