Babysitting

I'm not good with kids at all, and they don't seem to like me, either. I'm uncomfortable even around kids who are well-behaved or friendly, and really don't think I could handle babysitting for even an hour; I couldn't even keep my younger cousin under control whenever my brother and I were forced to watch him a few times in the past.
 
I've only ever babysat my brother and he's only 5 years younger than me so it wasn't a big deal and it wasn't long before he was pretty much old enough to be on his own too. I think my parents might've been nice and paid me once or twice but I doubt anything I did was worth payment, lol.

I don't like kids and/or don't really know how to act around them so I'm glad we moved around too much when I was younger to ever get to know people who I could have babysat. :')
 
Being the youngest child in my family, I never got a chance to babysit siblings, but I used to babysit when I was in high school. Unfortunately, there was this one kid, Cooper, who punched me in the face and made me quit altogether. (Cooper's mother wasn't any better...she spoiled the little runt.) I guess I might take it up again someday, but now I've got a job as a cashier, so I don't think I need to be a babysitter at the moment.
