Been missing my baby sitting job I had once upon a time.....not really la, was just last year :) How I got hired was a pretty random yet cool? story. I used to work for YES broadband in One Utama and one day this Korean uncle came over to me and asked if I'm interested to play with his kids. Like literally, he asked "Do you want to work? Just play with my children." He gave me his name card and told me he would want to hire me as his baby sitter to take care of his 3 beautiful daughters (Chae Won, Chae Min & Chae Yi) and that the timing and the activities can be very flexible. He told me he usually wouldn't just approach anyone but he said I look like someone he could trust and that his kids could use an "unnie" - meaning sister.
Initially I was skeptical but since it was at Valencia where my babe Fel stayed, I decided to check it out since I love kids and it's better than standing whole day trying to sell broadband plans. In the end, me and Fel together took up the job and it was a great experience! We took care of them 3 days a week for around 5 hours each day after they got back from school. We bathed and dressed them, watched "annoying Orange" and Dora the Explorer together, played lego and barbie, fed them and talked to them. Because their parents were constantly caught up with work and weren't always home, they were lonely and I was glad that we were there to accompany them.
There was once when Chae Won had a fit because her dad didn't want to bring me and Fel to Korea with them. Every year, they all go back to Korea for 3 months to visit their relatives and to make sure that they don't lose touch with their mother tongue. It was really a touching moment when Chae Won teared because it was her birthday that week and when I asked what she wanted for her birthday, she whisperd " I want Belle and Felicia to come to Korea with me" :').
It's sad though, cause after they've got back from Korea, our baby sitting service was no longer required and I haven't had the chance to visit them yet. Here's some picta I took ^^

Hopefully they are doing well.
