It’s clear that some babysitters were born for the job. Most already have a naturally sunny disposition and will go to whatever means necessary to make a child happy. It turns out Keegan is the perfect babysitter for mermaid-loving Alidy. Despite her age, young Alidy Haslam’s life hasn’t been without tragedy. Since her dad’s passing, little Alidy has worn a mermaid costume every day as a way of coping with the loss. With a boundless love for the mythical creatures, dressing up as one has helped bring happiness to the young girl during such sad times. However, Alidy was always hopeful of having a mermaid friend to share the fun with, a sentiment echoed by her mother Jenna.
Alidy eventually found her mermaid companion in her babysitter Keegan, who joined in on the theme by dressing like the girl’s favorite creature during bath time. As luck would have it, Keegan had her own mermaid tail that she had received at age 12. The two were able to splash around in the bath and get a small taste of what it must be like for a mermaid out at sea. Used to seeing little Alidy stroll about the house in her favorite mermaid costume, the babysitter decided to surprise the little girl. Alidy absolutely loved the moving gesture and the chance to share her fantasy with someone. According to Jenna, her daughter viewed Keegan as a real-life mermaid. She was so impressed with Jenna’s look that Alidy now wants to replicate her babysitter’s pink ‘mermaid’ hair. With such a kind and considerate act, Keegan is setting a very high standard when it comes to babysitting. Being at the centre of such a wonderful story, she will undoubtedly have no shortage of eager customers in the future. This is a shining example of great babysitting and how even something as trivial as dressing up can have a profound effect

A Feminist at Five

The latest clip being shared across social media shows a young girl giving her adorably insightful views on equal rights for men and women. Channel 4’s The Secret Life of 5-Year-Olds lifts the lid on playground antics and documents the interactions between children at school. During one episode, comments about girls made by one of the young boys caused a stir. Little Eva was quick to defend her fellow woman and give her take on gender equality. Despite her age, the young girl showed wisdom beyond her years. Championing women's suffrage, she spoke about the sacrifices made by the suffragettes and stressed the importance of both working and voting for girls when they grow up.
Eva was adamant that boys and girls are the same and that jobs and hobbies should be for both genders equally. After fellow youngster Jude expressed his view that women can’t be scientists, Eva was quick to highlight her own scientific accomplishments, telling the crew how she once extracted DNA from a banana. To show just how competent girls are, Eva decided to demonstrate some of her impressive Karate skills, showing Judge a thing or two. The professionals analyzing her behavior were extremely impressed with her competency as a teacher, noting that her teaching capacities exceeded her age. The two-child psychologic also concluded that despite his sexist comments, Eva made a lasting impression on young Jude, with him eventually admitting that she is “tough and strong like the Hulk.”Eva encapsulates what it means to be a true feminist. Standing up to Jude’s after his inconsiderate remarks, the youngster showed just how independent, resolute, and determined young girls can be. There’s no doubt the suffragettes would be extremely proud of Eva’s actions.
