I started my child rearing experience 20 years ago. When I was nineteen years old and mother became pregnant. I decided I wanted to be my mother birth and postpartum doula. My sister and I activities were filled with joy, singing, laughing, reading, nature walks, baby yoga and swimming. I prepared homemade organic meals. I'm a trained Doula by DONA, 300 hour yoga teacher training Yoga District, trained in First Aid and CPR. Here is a poem I made about me duties of being a nanny... Twinkle twinkle little star your child is cared for wherever you are. Trust above the sky so high I'm here to help while you work for the apple of your eye. When you see their smiling face you can trust I'm part of their happiness being all over the place. I will keep them safe, away from harm and wrap them gently within my Read more arms. I will help teach them to share, how to take turns and set good examples from which they will learn. At home, at school whatever they go this is how I will help with the children to grow. Your baby will be watched by a devoted, reliable, mentor I will show them patients and always be kind because I'm rearing for the twinkle of your eye. Joy is what your child will bring me every day I could not imagine life any other way. I have been the sole nanny for four children at once from the age of 2, 5, 13, and 16 for two weeks while the parent's traveled. Through the years I have works as a partner with the parents to help raise new born to sixteen year old. As your nanny I partner with the parents to help raise your children to be responsible, competent young men and women.
