Little Ones

Ever since I can remember, I've loved little kids. From a set of twins in my extended family, to my neighbors grandson, they always bring a smile to my face. At my high school, three teachers and students ran a preschool twice a day. For two years, I took classes that allowed me to help out in the preschool and those were some of the funnest times in school. We took the little ones on field trips to places like the Brookfield Zoo and the Kohl Children's Museum. Through being in this class, you get to meet the kids' parents and talk with them when they drop and pick their child or children up. Through a particular child's mom, I got a babysitting job for a set of three year old twins, whom the mother knew from selling a house to this family. I was so excited when I found out I would be getting to babysit a set of twins! Better yet, one was a girl and one was a boy. I didn't mind getting paid ten dollars an hour to play a few games and watch TV after putting them to bed. Usually I would actually babysit them for two hours and watch TV for the other four. Nonetheless, I cherished the time I had with them. Not only did I have a good job, but it was a job I actually liked. The family lives only three minutes away, driving, so I would always be there whether it was pouring rain or snowing for hours. Saying bye to them at the end of this summer was really hard. I can't wait to see them over winter break. I just wish there was a job where I could mix pharmacy and being with children all day.
