I have cared for three children since they were born when I was only in grade school. I have had the experience of caring for them as babies needing their diapers changed to seeing them in their first hockey game and dance recitals. I took them on adventures on a daily basis and told them stories to fall asleep to. I have went on vacations with them and know how to handle them when they are having a good day or a a bad day. I know all the tricks to getting them to eat their vegetables and clean up after themselves. My favorite thing to do with children in the summer is take them to the playground to get some exercise, and then stop at the nearby library to get a book to pick out for bedtime. When it is cold or rainy out I like to play hide Read more and go seek and create plays to put on in fun costumes. Besides my experience as a nanny, I also worked with children as a tutor at local parish. I have patience and see the potential in their abilities to push themselves. I also worked as a camp counselor at a summer soccer camp for children. I love getting outside and playing with the kids, rather than just watching them have all the fun themselves.
