I was a babysitter for my family. I would watch over my younger cousin when she was around 4 years old and her sister who was around 6. I would make sure they were bathed, fed, and had good amount of non-screen playing time. I was in easy contact with their parents and kept my eyes on the kids at all times. I have also babysat for other family members and kids from my Awana club. I have babysat for a 1 year old, 3 year old, 5 year old, 7 and 8 year old siblings all at once while the parents took the night to themselves. We had a great time and still managed to get a lot of non-screen playing time while having a 1 year old glued to my hip. Once the night comes to an end, I would always turn on a movie and pick up around the house, making sure it looked spotless so the parents can continue to enjoy their night without any extra stresses.

For 4 years I would attend meetings, host small groups, and teach in classrooms of 20+ kids. I would also have one on one conversations with parents and guardians. I would need to follow and create a lesson plan each week, as well as attend a group meeting with my directors. My job was to mentor and help organize child ministry and events. Every week I would lead the kids in games, small groups, one on one verse/lesson times, and large group time with fellowship. I did Awana for 12 years and when I got into highschool, I was not only still a student but a leader as well. I would have my own lesson from 3:30-5 then a meeting with my directors from 5:30-6, and ministered to kids from 6-7:45pm. I would usually end up staying later to clean up and get re-organized for the next week.
