I can watch over your child very carefully and protectively, I can teach them how to draw, write in cursive, new kinds of kid friendly music, arts and crafts, cook their favorite foods, play video games, board games, card games, or walk to a local park if that isn't permitted by the guardians/parents. If you have pets I can make sure they're fed and given attention, and of course clean up any mess in the home.
