Hello my name is Cara, and I want to start off by saying that I am a mother of 3 loving, caring, and beautiful children. Even my nephew has become my son. Well If you want to know about my experience as a nanny, all I can say is that I have been taking Care of children since I was a child myself. Coming from a big family everyone had to learn early on in life. So to be honest I have been a nanny before i became a parent. Caring for people and children is what I do. I have been a CNA for the 13 years, and I enjoy helping people.. My training comes from experience, from helping my aunt and uncle with their 18 kids. (Yes 18 kids) To becoming a mother of 3 before I was 21. Raising 3 of my 4 siblings while raising my Read more own. No, i do not have a certificate in being a nanny. And so far as training I'm still learning, as a parent your training never stops. Knowing every child is different so you care for them in different ways, but knowing you always need to given them the same attention, love, and dedication. My children are ages 17, 15, and 13, so I'm always learning something new.
