I have been a nanny/ babysitter for about 7 years. I love working with children. When I nanny/babysit, I spend a lot of time with the kids outside and playing games. On rainy days, we color and do puzzles. A few days a week we have learning time. I am very consistent and easy going. I would treat your child as my own.
