I was a private Nanny for a 15 Mo old and an 8 yo. I started November 16, 2016 & stopped February 5, 2018. When I started the little boy wasn't walking or even cruising. He wasn't talking either. I believe that this was because he was the 2nd child and the oldest was always carrying him around & talking for him. But most importantly it was because the youngest was never read to. The Mom was from Africa. So they didn't encourage reading. So she didn't read to either one. I brought some of my son's toddler books & also bought some. I started reading to the little one & he started learning words, what things were. He was pointing to things & asking what they were. I helped the oldest with his reading. I helped him to sound out the words & broke the word apart showing him Read more hidden words that he already knew to help him sound out the word. By the time I was done with this job. The youngest one was walking on his on. He was 2 1/2 when I left. He was also walking up and down the stairs by himself and talking in sentences. I used to play card & board games with the oldest as a reward for reading. He really enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun and laughing especially when we played "Old Maid". I really love being with kids. Reading to them, playing with them. I used to also get down on the floor & play with the youngest. I bought him toys to help with his hand, eye coordination, finger dexterity. As the later is the start of holding things with the fingers that they will use later on in learning to write. As you can see I do know a little about Child Development although I don't have a certificate or degree yet. I have a son who's all grown up. He turned 18 in July. I of course babysat when I was younger and actually into my 20's. I used to tell the parents to give the kids naps so that they could stay up later. I also bought the little one Baby Einstein videos. He learned so much through me reading & playing with him. I taught him shapes, colors, objects, animals, their sounds. His fav vid was Old MacDknald. On the vid when they would say what things were he would repeat what they said. One time I put the movie in b 4 his Mom left 4 work. She couldn't believe how he was repeating the words. She was really surprised. I have a love and passion for being with children. I would like to make a career out of it. Or should I say I have been trying to. I want to work in a preschool/daycare. I thought that while I'm waiting & looking that I could babysit Thank you
