At first, I wanted to do my ethnography at a recruiting center for the military so that it could correlate with my research project; however, I was not able to do so. As I kept thinking about where I was going to hold my ethnography, I realized I wanted to do observe an area that I am around many times; it is a completely different experience to observe an area rather than partake in the events. I am a babysitter and I watch two boys every week. The boys are four and seven and I decided that I wanted to observe them. As a babysitter, I have to be the one that watches the children and make sure that they are fed, cleaned, and happy by the time the parents come home. I never really sat down to observe their interactions with each other. Because of this, I chose to do my ethnography on the two boys during playtime.
