I baby sat for my first three grands occasionally because their mothers did not work. For my last two, I quit my job and took care of them from the shortly after they were born. Their Mother is a Realtor and has sporadic hours. I loved every minute of it, didn't get much done because I napped when they did, rocked are played with them when they were awake. They are 6yrs (boy) and 7 years (girl) now and go to school from 8-3, and I miss them alot. I still get them some but not enough to suit me.
