This is the adorable moment a young girl is spotted on a baby camera covering her sleeping sister with a blanket and handing her a stuffed toy.
The charming footage was captured by Nicole Anderson in December last year in the US state of Virginia and shows her daughter Stella, four, caring for her baby sister Roxanne.
It opens with the young girl walking up to her sister – who is sleeping peacefully in her cot – and watching her for a few seconds.
The young girl watches her baby sister sleeping peacefully in the cot – but is convinced she can make the experience even more comfortable
She returns with a floral blanket to cover the baby with adding some extra warmth to her slumber inside the cot
She then kneels down beside the cot to more closely examine the baby before standing up once more.
Seconds after she reaches out to touch the sleeping baby on the forehead – before thinking better of it and heading in search of a blanket.
She promptly returns with a floral blanket and covers her baby sister with it and spends time adjusting the garment so it fits perfectly.
Recalling the touching moment Ms Anderson said: ‘My husband was in the bathroom and got an alert on his phone from the Nest App that there was movement in the nursery.
‘Our four-year-old knows not to wake the baby so he was watching in suspense the whole time waiting to see what would happen.’
Not content with the blanket alone, the young girl also hands her baby sister a stuffed toy placing it underneath the blanket
The young girl gingerly places the stuffed toy on the shoulder of her baby sister. She then walks out of the room without disturbing her sister’s sleep
In the footage, Stella appears unconvinced the blanked is enough and so the young girl goes off in search of another item – this time a stuffed toy.
She places this underneath the blanket and on her baby sister’s shoulder before standing back to survey her efforts.
After this the young girl exits the room leaving her baby sister sleeping peacefully – and now with added blanket and stuffed toy.
Ms Anderson said: ‘It was the sweetest thing to see Stella get a blanket and lamb for her little sister.
‘She then exited the room- hoping she wouldn’t get caught being in there.’
