I cared for children from infant to 17-year-olds, throughout the day and evenings. There are some nights when I would stay over night too. I would prepare meals, clean, make sure the kids are fed, bathed and put to bed. I assisted children with school homework and assigned homework.
I love being being around kids and animals....
