The New Baby Sitter

We liked the new babysitter; that was clear from the moment we opened the door. She had long brown hair, a big smile and rosy red lips. She was holding her long denim coat and a small basket filled up with sweets. We said, “goodbye” to Mum and Dad, they were going to a wedding and had seen our new babysitter advertised in the local newspaper.

I shut the front door and then walked into the living room to see what my brother Daniel and my sister Chloe were doing. Daniel was sitting on the floor playing a game on the Playstation and Chloe was sitting at the dining room table reading a revision book. I sat down on the settee and started talking to our new babysitter, she seemed very friendly. I found out that her name was Megan and that she was a teacher in Holtsmere End Junior school. She had a boyfriend called Mark and a rabbit named floppity, who was just 1 year old. Megan handed me a sweet; she then told us that we had to be in bed by 8 o’clock, even though our parents were due back at 3 o’clock the next morning.

We all stopped what we were doing and sat down in front of the t.v, Megan put on a video, which lasted about 2 hours so after that we were meant to go to bed, but instead we played a game of Boggle. The time passed by and soon it was 12 o’clock. Megan insisted that we got into bed, but instead we all wanted to have an adventure. Megan moaned and said it was babyish, but our dog Pepe still had to go for his late night walkies, so we all went for a walk out into the woods. ...

We all stopped what we were doing and sat down in front of the t.v, Megan put on a video, which lasted about 2 hours so after that we were meant to go to bed, but instead we played a game of Boggle. The time passed by and soon it was 12 o’clock. Megan insisted that we got into bed, but instead we all wanted to have an adventure. Megan moaned and said it was babyish, but our dog Pepe still had to go for his late night walkies, so we all went for a walk out into the woods.

Obviously Chloe was scared because she was the youngest, so we all had to comfort her. The woods were very dark and spooky so we all decided to stay together, that is, me Megan and Chloe, because Daniel thought it would be funny to wonder off and make Megan really scared. He then called out to us and we would run until we couldn’t hear his voice anymore. As we turned the corner by an oak tree Daniel jumped out at us, this made Daniel’s plan work perfectly. We then all decided to play a game of hide and seek, this is not an ideal game in the dark. Megan hid with Chloe and Daniel hid by himself. I was ‘it’.

I hated the woods when it was in daylight but I hated it even more now it was in complete darkness. I found Daniel really easily because he couldn’t stop coughing; I called for Megan and Chloe because Daniel was still coughing. Megan and Chloe didn’t reply to my calls. I was stuck. I had to do something. I couldn’t just ignore the coughing, he seemed to be choking, so I hit him on the back to see if he would stop, but no he didn’t.

We were quite near to the road; I could see lights, so we hurried as fast as we could out of the woods to get help. Luckily there was a woman waiting for a bus. On the other side of the road, she was talking to someone on her mobile phone. She saw us; Daniel was still coughing, The lady dashed over to us and I asked If she could dial for the emergency services. It seemed ages before help arrived, by this time Daniel’s cough had eased and Megan, Chloe and Pepe dog where with us, the paramedic confirmed that Daniel was stable and well, so we all linked arms for the short walk back to the house.

Megan put on the hot chocolate while we all got ready for bed, and we huddled in front of the fire, recalling our adventure. I new we would like our baby sitter, lets hope she comes round again soon!
