The process of completing a favorite activity

The activity that I enjoy doing is baby sitting my nieces and nephews. I learn how they change as they are getting older. I love taking them swimming. I have to be very cautious considering their ages. I would definitely need someone outside to help me watch them since my oldest niece is six-years-old, my youngest niece is four-years-old, and both of my nephews are two-years-old. There would be no way that I could handle all four of them in the swimming pool at the same time. My oldest niece has finally gotten over the fear of the water and is now standing on her own. She's still a little afraid of going under, so I help her by showing her to hold her nose when she goes under the water. My youngest niece is starting to venture out beyond the steps. She's afraid of the water, so I would put floaties on her before she got in the water, and make sure she stays close to the steps unless an adult is with her. My oldest nephew loves to just run and jump in the water with or without his floats on. I always make sure he has his floats on before he gets in because I don't want him to drown. My youngest nephew will just sit calm as can be in a float. Once we finish swimming, I'll get them out of the pool and dry them off. Then I would take them into the house and put dry clothes on them.
