I have babysat since I was a young teenager. I have families that I babysit for privately but I am also registered with a nanny agency so also work for them as and when the work is available. A few years a go I was a nanny to a family with four children ranging from 6 months old to 11. I actually work nights as a senior care assistant in a residential home. I have a 4 year old son who tends to be at his dads at weekends, this leaves me with some free time for babysitting. Animals are not a problem for me, I grew up on a farm and have pets myself.
