No I Will Not Watch Your Kids For Just A Minute While You Run Off And Go Somewhere Else. Yall Aint Paying

No I will not ‘watch your kids for just a minute while you run off and go somewhere else’. Y’all ain’t paying me extra for babysitting while I’m working.

‘But you’d be watching them anyway! It’s just for 5 minutes!’ I’m watching everyone. And let’s say your kid, in the ‘5 minutes’ you’re gone has a seizure/heat stroke/faints/has any medical emergency. We need you there to supply us with information. Is your child allergic to any thing? Do they have medication to take? Is there an epipen to use? Where do they live? How old are they? Who’s going with them to the E.R (if something really bad happened)?

And let’s not forget that if I take my attention off of any of the patrons at my pool for even 2 minutes someone will break a rule. That’s not me being dramatic. It’s a fact. If I don’t call someone out for running/doing a trick jump/shooting someone in the face with a water gun, they’re gonna keep doing it until someone gets hurt.

So, no. I’m not watching your kid and your kid alone, for ‘just 5 minutes’. This hat says ‘lifeguard’ not ‘baby sitter’.

Rest In Peace, to the hero who created my heroes.

I actively go out of my way to save a bee in my pool. Like, it happened at least once a day, cause they’re everywhere, and they’re cute, and I feel so happy when they recover and fly away to go make that bread. I just look at them like-

Yes, you go pollinate them flowers.

how do u actually save bees?

what the hell is going on in this country?!

Do not ask us how many people we’ve rescued. Just don’t. And if you do decide to ignore me, then don’t just assume that because a lifeguard says ‘Oh I haven’t saved anyone’ that they are incompetent. That means that they are actually preventing accidents before they happen, which should comfort you.
