When she's not on the campaign trail, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes on a more challenging role as a babysitter to her granddaughter, Charlotte.
Following an exhausting three-day campaign, Hillary was game for taking care of Chelsea Clinton's 11-month old daughter. "My husband Marc [Mezvinsky] and I were at a dinner for a friend who recently got a new job, and my dad was out with friends, so my mom babysat which was really nice," Chelsea revealed, according to People Magazine.
The former secretary of state changed diapers, fed the baby, held story times and even sang to Charlotte whenever she was cranky as she's teething. "When Charlotte has challenges teething, 'The Wheels on the Bus' song can go on for hours. Like, everything gets on the bus - every animal from Old MacDonald's farm gets on the bus, everybody we know gets on the bus, everybody in our family, all of our nieces and nephews and cousins, everybody and everything is on the bus. So my mom is very sweet when she's singing 'The Wheels on the Bus,'" Chelsea told the news outlet with a laugh.
Charlotte and Hillary also bond over the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and as taught by her grandmother, the baby instantly opens and closes her hand whenever she hears the particular nursery rhyme, according to Yahoo Parenting.
Chelsea also shared that her parents would often drop by just to see their granddaughter. In fact, they check up on the little one every day. "They are so interested in everything about her - getting to know her and being part of her life and part of her daily routine."
The daughter of a former president is set to launch her first book for middle-school kids, "It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!" from Penguin Publishing and she understands that being a Clinton has afforded her with a lot of privileges. The same privileges extends to her own daughter, but Chelsea divulges, she doesn't want her baby to grow up spoiled and oblivious to what is going on around her.
"I was always encouraged to engage in the world, to be informed—the first thing I learned how to read was the newspaper - but also encouraged that being informed was the first step toward making a difference," she told People in another interview.
The 35-year-old mother's hope for her child is similar to every mother's hope for their kids: "to develop her own dreams and identity and path," she told the news outlet. She's making sure of this by providing a good environment for her daughter from the start.
