First Babysitting Job...

Last night Sarah had her first "official" babysitting job. A family from church who lives in Wanaque, 5 minutes from us, asked if Sarah would be interested in babysitting their 5 year old daughter for 2 hours every other Thursday for the next couple of months. The mom knew that Sarah didn't have much experience yet, but they would actually be right across the street at a bible study their neighbors were having and if Sarah needed anything they wouldn't be far.

It is really the perfect opportunity for Sarah to start getting babysitting experience. She and her friend Cayla had already signed up to take a babysitting course at a local hospital the beginning of next month, so this will help put to practice what she learns. 

Sarah's first night was great. Addie warmed right up to her and everything went smoothly. What little 5 year old girl wouldn't warm up to our sweet, loving, and beautiful Sarah. Yes, I am bias, I am her mom, and I think she is amazing!
I had her take a picture of her first night for the scrapbook.
Sweet Adeline.
This is just another milestone for our "baby" girl. Yes, she is no longer a baby at almost 12 years old, but in my eyes she will always be my baby no matter how old she is. I don't like the fact that she is growing up and yet I am so proud of who she is growing up to be. It is bittersweet.

If your interested in babysitting services you better start booking her now, I have a feeling she will be a popular one.
