I have been a stay at home mom to four grown child since 1990. I worked part-time at Blank Children's Hospital as a CNA for about four years. I have also work part-time in a school as a preschool associate. I opened an in home daycare in February 2006 and have been doing it since. My husband said something about being a nanny since our youngest child has moved off to college. It sounds like it would be an interesting change for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have worked with children with special needs (Autism, heart defect, Downs Syndrome). I love working with children and have enjoyed doing it at home, but since my last child has graduated being home is sometimes hard and I would like to get out of the house. So that's why I think nannying is a good choice for me.
