I am a full time nanny (6 a.m. - 6 p.m.) for five children, 3, 5, 7, 9 and a 1-year-old. The children are home schooled and I do their homework and studies with them. I maintain the upkeep in the house such as laundry, dishes, vacuuming floors daily, office and desk clean up, getting children to violin and dance. I have been the nanny to the 1-year-old since the first week she was born and have learned a good amount of information on taking care of an infant, from changing diapers to feeding, potty training, taking first steps, teaching the first words, etc. The children I nanny cannot watch TV or play on the internet during weekdays so I come up with weekly plans of activities such as crafts, baking, meal prep, adventures (zoo, arboretum, picnics, etc.). The father is losing his job therefore they will not be able Read more to afford me much longer. Before this family I was a nanny for a family of three boys. I have babysat many different families over the years, along with house sitting for periods of time when families are away and taking care of their animals. I also coach children's soccer and run camps. I am attending school during all this, taking online classes and a few night classes from seven to nine forty at night when I am off work. I am three classes away from my Associates!
