I have a little over 3 years experience in a daycare setting, primarily working with ages 2 - 3, but have worked with all ages. I also have 4 years experience as an in home nanny. I have also been babysitting for 15+ years. I have about 6 months experience as a house cleaner. Although I prefer working with kids in the nanny setting, I am very thankful for my daycare experience. It taught me that each child is different and they respond differently to things. It also taught me to have nerves of steel! Nothing teaches you to be patient, kind, and understanding like eleven 2 year olds! Even though I am thankful for those experiences and sweet kids, I do prefer the nanny setting because you get much more one on one time with the kids. I feel like this gives the opportunity to teach more in depth Read more and to watch what they are doing a lot closer. I love working with kids because each day is different. You never know what a child is going to do or say. They can brighten any day with their silliness. My favorite activities to do with kids is art projects and reading books! I am currently working in a special needs pediatrician's clinic, but I'm looking to go back to nannying. If you have question, please feel free to ask!
