Babysitting for the Neighbor
Babysitting For the Neighbor
by Marie LeClare
When I was 14-years-old I earned spending money babysitting for local families in my small community of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. There were several families that I sat for, but my favorite family to sit for was right next door. They had a young boy and would ask me to look after him while they were not home.
The young boy was no problem to look after. He went to bed early, after being fed and having his dipper changed at night. His parents would never come home until well after midnight. That left me with a lot of time to amuse myself. I spent the time snooping through the belongings of the couple.
