Personal Narrative: A Career As A Babysitter
I began working when I was 14. My first babysitting job was for my newly divorced neighbor with a one month old baby named Alexa. I loved being able to give Alexa's mother, Brianna, some time to go out with her friends and relax. However, Alexa was just the tip of the iceberg for my career as a babysitter. Since then I have nannied and babysat for a variety of families ranging from ages 2 weeks to 14 years old. During the summer of 2016 I began nannying for a family with two middle school girls. I worked Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. Throughout the course of the summer I encountered many adult situations that have made me grow as an individual. Between calling AAA to come fix my tire that had a massive chunk of metal wedged in it to breaking

    I enjoyed being with children so much that my first “real-world” paying job was at a summer camp. Between volunteering at the church Vacation Bible School and working at the summer camp I realized I have a great connection with children and can help make a difference in their lives and that is what I seek to do. I have since been employed at a few different childcare facilities along with a music store and book store but no matter what I always found myself returning to working in either a childcare or school…

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    As a child protective services worker, when interacting with a hostile, resistant or non -voluntary client, I would use several techniques to build rapport and engage the client in working with the agency. Being a social worker for the last ten years, and having four years of direct experience in child protect services, I have come across many reluctant clients. I learned very quickly that rapport is the foundation to any service provider in the social work field. Upon a first visit with a client, one needs to remember that you do not know them any more than they know you. It is important to be empathetic and understand that the client has just had a stranger come into their home and take away their child/children. You, are also a stranger coming into their home, and need to respect their home, as well as, the situation they are experiencing. It is very common to see a hostile and/or resistant client in the beginning of services.…

    As a humans we all have to experience certain situations in life, in order to figure out what we like and dislike. I can honestly say I’ve had my fair share of situations. I started working at Samsung call center as a full time employee. The job had excellent benefits, and room for growth and advancement. While I was working there I thought it was what I wanted, but as time progressed I realized it may not be for me. I had been out of school for 2 years when I accepted this job, so I wasn’t quite sure as to what career path I wanted to take. My decision at the time was to work full time and remain productive with that. Sometime you have to make a few changes within in yourself in order to grow as a person.

    When I was in my mothers womb she had gestational diabetes which caused me to grow more rapidly and develop more quickly physically than the average baby. This caused me to be a pretty big baby at birth, I was ten pounds eight ounces and was about twenty-four inches. Needless to say I was a pretty big baby and that didn’t stop within the first few years. I remember looking at pictures of me with my older brother who was a few years older than me and we looked like we could be twins. A lot of times our mother was asked if we were twins.…

    It was Christmas time. Me and my brother Max had gone to the mall. We went there to get a present for your mom and dad. I was very used to babysit Max. I have done it for 3 years going so I thought that I could easily handle him. When we got to the mall Max wanted to go to the toy shop. I told him that we could go in there for only 10 min. When we got into the shop Max immediately ran to the Lego section. I looked away for just 5 seconds. When I looked back Max was gone. At first I thought that he had just gone to look at another rack. I went around looking for him. After at while I started panicking. “How could I had let this happen” I thought to myself. My mom has always told me that whenever I was babysitting Max I had to stay focused…
