Our Babysitter

When we first moved here I wanted to find a good babysitter. Up until then we would just leave the kids with another couple who also had kids the same ages as our kids. It worked out fine but I felt like they didn't really want to watch our kids. Either that or they didn't leave their kids with us as much so we felt like they were annoyed with us. Anyways...when we got here I starting keeping an eye out for teenagers that would work out. I noticed Caroline because she was so sweet to our children. We tried her out and realized that she is the BEST! Here are our favorite things about her... 1. She is sweet. Really sweet. 2. She is upbeat and makes us happy. 3. She is almost 18 so she's experienced. 4. VERY RESPONSIBLE! She will come last minute if we need her. 5. She plays with the kids, she doesn't just sit and ignore them. I find that she colors and plays games with them. 6. She cleans up the house and always does the dishes. 7. temple trips are FREE!!! (we pay for the extra time we go out to eat or shop) 8. most important...she genuinly loves our kids. If she doesn't see them for a while she races to give them hugs. There is one thing that we hate about her...but it's not her...She lives all the way out of town! UGH!!! But we love her so much that we take the drive anyways. Her mom is so awesome that she usually drives her over and we take her home. WE LOVE OUR BABYSITTER!!!!
