Babysitting!

Baysitting was another service that I have done this term. I didn't plan it, but my dad decided to go to Berlin with a student, and the student had a baby already, so he left his baby at my house for a week, and me and my mom would take turn to babysit her. Her name is Nasha Aleena Nadwah, and let me tell you, babysitting her is not easy at all. 

She is so hyperactive, the hardest challenge is to put her to sleep. It's almost impossible, we actually had to make her really tired, by playing with her and all the things we can do to make her tired. Even at one point, my mom was the one who went to sleep instead of her. Sometimes, we would just lay on the floor next to her and closed our eyes, but then, she would go crying. It's was really hard. 

She's really cute, and thank goodness, she doesn't really cry. Even when she cried, it only lasted for about 10 seconds, then she would stop. I love babysitting her eventhough it was hard. But really, I think babysitting anybody is never easy. 

The day that she went home, I felt pretty sad. Because we bonded a lot with each other. Everyday after school my mom would open the door with her. I miss that a lot. Eventhough I get tired after school, she would make me laugh like a crazy person. She's a lot of fun eventhough she's only 1 year old. She's making a lot of progress with her baby steps and her talking. I'm a bit surprised that she could actually said some words. But sometimes, when I was teaching her some words, she would just scream really loud. That made me laugh. 

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved by babysitting are:

• Undertaken new challenges, I took the challenge to put her to sleep, my mom said that I have to practice so that I would get used to it when I have my own child. What a great advice!
