I Have My Old Job Back!

Two years ago I started working for a single mother and her 2 year old boy and I loved it. I slowly got let go this past winter because of my school workload and her change of job/ not needing me the days I was available. This was my first-ish job and I loved it. I made a lot of money and I was in a good environment watching a really sweet little boy who loved when I was over. When they stopped needing me, of course I was sad. It was a great job. I even tried getting other babysitting jobs and they were nothing like this one, I didn't feel as comfortable or accepted.

When I found out last week I was needed again, I felt wonderful! It's an exhausting job but it's totally worth it. Whenever I'd see kids around, I just wanted to talk to them and help them with stuff, that's how much I missed babysitting, so when I got news of this job, I was very happy.

Today was my first long day back (9.5 hours, didn't feel like it though) and it was wonderful. It's like this was what I was missing from my life. I don't have any siblings or anyone really to talk to and when I'm babysitting at this place, I feel like an older sister and a friend. They treat me very well and I feel comfortable. It works with my schedule so no added stress there and it'll work with my upcoming internship (that I still need to find..) because it's mainly Sundays.

I'm so lame for getting so excited over a job. But, it's nice to get out of the house and make some money since I am, of course, a poor college kid. (: Plus, it helps with my exposure to kids since I'm working towards a PhD in child clinical psychology (eventually), and I'm helping out a mother in need, so it makes me feel good about myself.

Long story short, I'm very happy that I have an opportunity to work back here again.
