Babysitting
I currently look after my 6 nieces for my family when this is required. The children range from age 3-12. When doing this I take a patient, calm approach and really enjoy looking after them. I try to organise games and activities such as arts/crafts, baking, outdoor games etc to keep the children motivated and entertained. When doing this I also make sure that the children are safe by staying with them at all times and ensuring there isn’t any dangers to them. E.g. no slippery floors for them to fall or items left around the house where they may hurt themselves. All my nieces are very different and individual so I also try to make sure that they are treated in this way by planning activities they will all enjoy and adapting my approach to them to gain the experience.
