Wednesday night I had my first paid babysitting engagement since the age of 17. My landlords had me watch their one-year old daughter, Victoria, who bears and eerie resemblance to the Cabbage Patch Kid shown above. It was the easiest babysitting job of my life.
I showed up at 8. The landlords live on the first floor of my building, so transportation wasn't an issue. They showed me the ropes, she and I hung our for half an hour, and then it was her bedtime. She'd already been fed, bathed and put in her pajamas. I spent the rest of the evening doing homework in the living room except for the one time when she cried and I changed her diaper. Between Victoria and my tutoring kids, I've really lucked out in terms of dealing with nice, easy-going kids.
