I have been babysitting since middle school, and after all these years, I still think that it is the best job ever. From getting endless hugs to going on adventures with your kids, babysitting might be the most fun and rewarding job out there. Here are 10 reasons why babysitting is the best job in the world.

1. You gain a family.

When you babysit for a family, it is almost like they become a part of your family. You spend every day watching over someone's kids and the bond you create is amazing. You then get to see your kids grow up and it's a great feeling.

2. You learn countless life lessons.

Sometimes when you are a babysitter, things don't always go as planned. You always have to have back up plan. This is a crucial thing to learn when you are working with kids.

4. You get to play all day.

Babysitting is mostly fun. You get to bring out your inner kid and play with kids all day. What other job lets you play? You also get to go to fun places like the zoo and waterparks.

5. You get to hang with cute kids.


Kids are the cutest and say the funniest things. Spending your days with kids is one of the most fun things to do.

6. Kids make you feel good about life.

Kids are mostly nice. They usually tell you how awesome you are and that you are their favorite. Every once in awhile, they will tell you that you should wear make up, but for the most part, they make you feel like you are important.

7. There is minimal stress.

Your biggest stressor is getting your kids where they need to be on time and making sure everyone's diapers are changed. Even when you are stressed, all it takes is a smile from one of your kiddos and everything else fades away.

8. Nap time is great.

When you are a babysitter, your full time jobs includes chasing around kids all day, so you get a built in work out, How awesome is that? The kids always keep you on your feet.

10. You get paid to do all these things.

Babysitting is such a great job you get paid for having fun and hanging with cute kids. I wouldn't trade my job for any other job in the world. I love my kids and my job, and enjoy every minute of it. Babysitting is for sure the best job in the world.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
