I was not able to have children myself but my sister has 7 and my brother has 6, all of which I was their nanny until they could speak clearly. Now the children are having children and I have worked as nanny for the 3 boys until they could speak. Our family has been very blessed to be able to have the babies with me until they could clearly communicate any problems. I also kept an infant from 1 month to age 3 to keep her out of the foster system while her mother could not provide for her. I am excellent with children and I do have references. I don't watch TV or text or talk on the phone. I keep the child busy with me. ANY TIME that a child is unhappy or misbehaving I simply distract them with a different activity. The art of distraction works with Read more all children of all ages. I have worked for parents that showered their children with expensive toys and they all misbehaved until I got in the floor with some pots and pans and canned goods and played 'store' with them. Works every time. Children want your time and attention. Simple. I am very experienced in health issues of children and I have no problem keeping them healthy and safe. My favorite ages are newborn to 4 or 5 years old. With a toddler, I know that if I can't hear him I had better go find him RIGHT NOW because he is probably writing on a wall with a sharpie, lol.
