I BECAME a babysitter at age 11, for a family across the street on New Year's Eve...sitting for a baby with the croup. Worst nightmare of my life.

Prior to that, my older brother used to baby sit me on the rare occasion my parents went out.

@4meAndyou I had that exact same experience at 18. The baby got really sick and the parents were out later than expected and not at the restaurant that they told me they were going to be.
They ended up taking him to hospital that night because his croup was so bad.
I stopped babysitting after that.
Scary.
