Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, April 29

Hey, hey, it's Monday! This is Cass

I was at the library the other day and they were holding a first aid for babysitters course. So when I read this article, I was pretty surprised to hear babysitting isn't common in some areas. I started babysitting when I was around 12 with the next-door neighbours and expanded from there. My experience included feeding them, playing or monitoring them and helping them get ready for bed. Then your job was to stay awake, ready to act in case of an emergency, until the parents came home. Homework and TV usually filled that gap.

Many home services could help people in a community, whether they’ve outlived their friend circle or are new to town. We’ve found someone who will come and let Bennie out pr water our plants and do home checks when we go away.

What do you think? Have you babysat? Would you consider providing other personal services?

Today’s topic is suggested by @Cass M 👋🏽 but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.
