It's A Kid's Life: The Exciting Adventures of Emily Rose

My First Babysitting Job

I just finished my first babysitting job. Well, it wasn't really babysitting, it was more like distracting the children and keeping them out of the way. The mom needed to do some housework, so I took care of her six year old son and younger daughter. I brought a "Surprise bag" with felt puppets, coloring books, crayons, and story books. The stories were a big hit. The younger girl almost fell asleep in my lap when I was reading to the two of them. We also played with the boy's balls and the girl's dolls. I think we all had fun.
When the mom was took me back home, she wrote a check to mom so she could pay me. The check was for TEN DOLLARS! I was shocked, and so was mom, 10 dollars is a whole lot to pay an inexperienced 11 year old girl for just 2 hours!
I had fun though,
Emily Rose

Good Job! I think your worth the ten bucks! I am sure the mom agreed too or she wouldn't have given you that much! Be Happy!
Love,
