babysitter at As someone new to the US I requested to help with my cousin's kids due to the help she was giving me and my parents, I had to give my three little cousins food, had to keep them entertained without technology, help them to go to sleep and help them with homework, these kids were all 7, 6 and 5 years apart from me so it was somehow difficult for me but was able to keep them save at all times.
