I have this sweet babysitting job this summer.
A couple of days a week I get to go over and hang out with cute one-year-old twins.
Although the money isn’t great per hour, especially compared to the wing-n-beer job and the coffee catering job, there are some perks that come a long with it.
First perk: the gal I sit for buys healthy food. It’s so cool to work for someone with a similar take on food and fitness.
I also get to use some of this healthy food in my lunches! I bring food, however when I see avacados in the fridge and some wrap thing I’ve never tried before…I meld it with the food I bring.
Yesterday I added the rest of the mushroom quinoa I tried from the day before to a wrap with olive-oil-peppered mayo, my chicken tenders, mozzarella cheese wrapped up in a sundried tomato tortilla.

| Okay Mayo isn’t healthy…but this is my semi-healthy blog! |
I added a side of my carrot chips and called it good. I mowed this down as fast as I could after I fed the kiddos pasta….I wish I took a picture of their orange faces!!
Actually I don’t think I finished it until later when they were down for their nap.
I would almost call it a post-workout meal…chasing them around all day. 😉
Another perk: pushing two kiddos in a stroller is an amazing workout.
I’ve seen people post on DailyMile about how they’ve run 5 miles with a running stroller thinking that is probably tough to run with a stroller.
Yes, it is tough. I attempted to run a couple of days ago and let me tell you..thank goodness I brought a change of clothes!
(Another perk: I go to work in my gym clothes and no make-up!)
The stroller is also handy when dealing with crabby babes.
And when I lull them to sleep on a lovely walk and after I’ve cleaned up from the last meal, I can do a quick blog post or check my e-mail. (And finish my own meal.)
Could another perk be cute kids? Add it to the list! Cute kids.
I am so blessed to have found this family to babysit for and I hope they will keep me around for awhile! 🙂

Have a lovely Thursday all! 🙂
P.S. I did just think to ask if I could use the baby pictures in my blog posts…we are in the clear! 😉
Do you have perks at your job?
If you could work anywhere, where would it be?
