I’ve had previous experience in babysitting for one night in looking after a 5-year-old and putting her to bed and looking after the home. My husband and I volunteered to look after a toddler and an 8-year-old girl every Wednesday afternoon/night for one year. We would always do fun activities together such as drawing, painting, reading, baking and sometimes cooking dinner for them. Some skills that I have gained from that experience for me is knowing the balance of when to support their needs and transitioning into a period that requires them to settle down for bedtime as I would put them to bed and read a story to them. I’ve cherished every moment and the children always looked forward to our company. I also helped one of my friends with five children in coming three times a week to clean her house and help with some chores with the kids. I've only done a paid job in nannying once so I just genuinely love spending time with kids and I just want to help anyone who needs a hand.
