My care experience is just my general nature but to go into stats I guess I can do that too.. Cared for my niece from 2 months until she was three years old, 9-6pm and what a treasure she has turned out to be now 12 years old. This was full time care incl. swimming, girls football, school, kids gym, and geez where do I stop. My nephew 9-7pm at their house, who is now 21, and once again a true gem due to my care, I am sure. I generally don't have people I do this for on a permanent basis, but seem find myself being Aunty Kaz most of the time for no pay. Hence my thought, why not make it a career. I do regularly look after the next door neighbours children (both sides), and I honestly love every minute.. I guess I am the energy when Mum and Dad just need a break for a bit. :)
