Re: experience for own children?
I think 5 months is a good age to start, I'm sure she will learn to share her toys and you with no problem!
My older children have loved me minding the little girl I have, they think she's fab! There is just 4 months between my youngest daughter and my mindee and I think that having another child at home with her has done good as her big sisters often give her everything she demands! They aren't too keen on the after school boys but I think that's because they're a lot rougher and noisier (on the whole, although my girls can be pretty loud themselves!) and they're boys!! I don't have them every day though so it hasn't been a big issue.
Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.
