Here's the big difference between taking care of your own child and taking care of someone else child:



Preparation

When you take care of a kid that is not yours, the parents gives you a list of do's and don'ts, favorite foods, how to get them to sleep, etc. You know exactly what to do.



But your own kid, the first child for any parents will be a complete unknown, the things you know from taking care of other kids is practically thrown out the window
