Erica has a full-time job this summer. She is babysitting for a family that lives about four houses down the street. Erica is at work Monday thru Friday from 7:45-4:00 watching Cooper (7) and Tucker (5). Once in awhile, she has a day off, it their dad has to work a weekend. It was either babysit or go to the fields to detassel. She has had some rough days, but also some fun days! They hang out, walk to the park, go to the movies, attend kid presentations at the public library, play Legos, play Pokémon, run through the sprinkler, etc.
The highlight may have been last week when they saw a snake in the yard! Tucker came running to our house to tell me all about it. It was a great story to hear from a 5-year old point of view!
This has been a great learning experience for Erica! She is earning money and gaining some life skills.
Take care,
Michelle
