I have been babysitting since I was a young teenager and then had a few short-medium length nanny jobs while at university. My longest time as a nanny was 4.5 years with four children - a 6 month old boy, 2 year old boy, and 8 year old twin girls. I really enjoyed my time with them and was very sad when they moved away. I loved helping them all to learn and grow and especially enjoyed bonding with them and making them laugh. My three favorite things to do with children are cooking with/for them, playing with them, and helping them learn. I also love taking children to play groups and reading them stories. My most recent job was as a nanny to a 2.5 year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a few months before they were ready to go to nursery.
