I'm a babysitter/nanny/baby protector, whatever you want to call it. I love my job. If I could babysit little ones for the rest of my life and make a good living off of it, you better believe I'd do it. Kids have a very special place in my heart.

That being said, it's not always a piece of cake. Yesterday, I got thrown up on because I had a sick toddler. Today, the munchkin I had wet through her diaper and tracked it through the entire house. It's been a rough couple of days for all of us. They both screamed a lot, as well. I'm exhausted. I don't care how tired I am. I love those babies more than anything. My number one goal is to take care and provide for them while I have them.

I've never had any issues with the parents of the kids I keep, but I've heard stories of others who are insane. They call the babysitter a piece of crap, worthless, terrible, for no reason at all. I understand some babysitters aren't great, but for those who keep labeling and saying we all treat kids terribly, please take a step back.

Most of us do our best. Most of us love those kids like our own. We don't want them injured. We don't want them crying. Give us a break. I know it's probably nerve wrecking being a parent (I wouldn't know yet), but most of us take good care of your kids. I love my little munchkins like they were my own, and I make sure they're happy and safe. I'm sure most other babysitters do as well. Be kind to us. We're doing our best.
