Books
Always reading — most often historical fiction.
I'm Gigi. I'm 14, and I love taking care of kids. I started babysitting for families around Sudden Valley when I was 12 — first as a mother's helper, then on my own.
The thing I love most is how unhurried kids are. They notice everything. I try to be the kind of sitter I would have wanted: patient, calm, off my phone, and ready to read the same book six times in a row.
I'm the oldest of three siblings, which means I've already done most of it — bedtime, snack negotiations, meltdowns at the grocery store. I took the Red Cross Babysitter course last year and I'm CPR + First Aid certified.
Always reading — most often historical fiction.
Piano practice and a playlist for every mood.
Scones, banana bread, anything with cinnamon.
Steady, kind, and never on her phone.
— Anna, mom of three
