Personal Narrative On Babysitting
“Call me if you need me anything at all,” my Auntie Taylor called as she disappeared through front door that I call a black hole. The reason I call it that is because every time someone leaves from it, it takes a while for them to come back. I was now officially hired. Officially hired to be left alone with my baby cousin, Richmond. As people call it: Babysitting. Definitly brings chills down my back. My Aunt had left for work and I was given the honor of babysitting for a few hours. He was a good baby, but even though he was good, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t be an epic challenge to babysit the boy- which was learned the hard way.

It was a great day and I was feeling like the queen of the universe because I was going to get to babysit! My Auntie Taylor told me to call her if I needed any help, but I was determined to not call because I felt as if I needed to prove to her I could do this. “Be the big and best niece in

I picked him up and put him in the bathtub. The smell of the vomit began linger around the room and started to spread across the large house. It made my nose hurt!

After his bath I wanted to cry. I didn’t know where to put him while I washed everything. I quickly sat him down in his large blue and green stroller because his walker-thingy was all the way down stairs. I really needed help because being in that stroller made him EXTREMELY angry. He started to scream to the top of his little lungs. I felt so bad because I knew he was super tired. I was about to pick up the phone because neither of us could take the madness but I realized I could do this. Yet I couldn’t.

Multitasking is not my strongest suit and it never was. I wish it and been because it would’ve have come very handy while I was humming nursery rhymes, cleaning baby puke, and rocking a humongous stroller… all at once! More like tri-tasking to me! It started to become too much for me. My face was as red as a ripe tomato and sweat dripped from my little sweaty

    I let out a blood-curdling scream, it felt as if it was a terrible nightmare, as if I would wake up and it would all be gone. Jayden would be lying down next to me, we would be in our warm beds looking at each other, but this wasn’t a nightmare, just identical to one. From that moment on I knew that the hardest part of this all was to continue living everyday. My worst fear, my worst nightmare, my worst horror had become a reality. A reality I wasn’t ready to continue with; a reality I would never be able to continue with. The emotions associated with losing a child are beyond inexpressible. My most cherished love had been taken away from me, and I would never be able to get him back…

    My mom never screamed at me before and when she screamed he blamed me for letting him go outside without his permission. One sunny day, we were remodeling the living room so it can be more babyproof now that my brother was taller and could walk and run perfectly. We left the door open because it was too cold in the living room. We were moving the couch as we told Andres to move over so we don’t locate the couch on his feet. We were so busy moving the furniture that we totally forgot the baby of the family was walking towards the door. When we put the couch in our desired spot, we noticed Andres walking toward the street. We ran after him as quickly as we could as we saw a car moving in Andres’s direction. My dad sprinted like a track and field athlete towards his baby and caught him right in time. All of a sudden, my mom turned to me and blamed me for this incident. I felt like my side of the story wasn’t considered when I explained she told me to help her with the couch and it was really Andres’s fault. She couldn’t believe I was blaming a baby so she sent me to my room. I ran to my room crying, feeling as if Andres was the favorite child and I wished that I never had a…

    We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there.

    It was a hot summer night in August. I could not sleep; I feared that the upcoming baby would steal my mom’s love from me. It is normal for children to desire their parents’ love and attention, especially for a kid like me who grew up with a single mom. At the age of four, my mom was my whole world. I thought she felt the same way until she announced that she would have a baby. I would not have accepted the fact that my mom could divide her love between me and my sister. However, when I observed my mom holding a tiny crying baby in her arms, witnessing her happy tears gave me the strength to take care of my little sister. My little sister’s existence not only taught me how to be caring and selfless to my family, but it also sparked the compassion in me to care for others…

    Last December, before my nephew Elton, winter’s break began, I called my sister to see if her son could spend his winter break with us in Sacramento. With excitement in her voice, she readily agreed to allow Elton to come and promised to tell him when she picked him up after school. A couple of hours later, I was focused typing on my laptop when I was startled by the sound of my phone ringing. I quickly glanced down at the phone to see that it was my sister calling.
