Hi Isabel!

I think babysitting gives you a little idea of what it's like to be responsible for someone else's well being and safety, but there's a bit more to parenting than that.

If you enjoy this responsibility, and perhaps most importantly, if the parents trust you, that's saying a lot about you right now, and your potential for all those important qualities to grow and mature into becoming a good parent.

But not right now.

For sure Spock I feel not ready to have a baby - it looks so painful and scary. But if my boyfriend had kids I could jump in as a mum maybe
