I volunteered with my church nursery. worked with children in other church groups such as pioneer girls and vacation bible school. I took care of a brother and sister at their home for the summer of 2001 until the end of september 2001. I worked at a daycare for a total of 16 months. I worked primarily with the infants. but, I would help out with the other children as well from time to time.

i’ve taken care of children for family and friends over the years. as well as babysat for a private family.

i worked as a nanny for 15 months for a private family. which I was guided to through selective nanny, I took care of a little girl. she was about 1 1/2 was I started. we did so many different things together. I loved her and her parents. she was such a sweet, loving, intelligent little girl. her parents were so good to me. they were loving, sincere, respectful. I felt like I was part of their family. I loved that little girl like she was my own.

may 2010 thru august 2010, I took care of 4 children. they were 11months, 2, 5, and 11. all different personalities and interests. they always kept me going. but I loved it. in a short amount of time I grew to love them. I wish I could’ve remained being their nanny for as long as they needed me. but, it didn’t work out that way.

with both nanny jobs, I played with the kids inside and outside the homes. I cooked for them and bathed them. we went for walks and to the stores(just to browse). I used to take the little girl to the park all the time. the 2nd nanny job-they didn’t have a park in the area. we did arts and crafts, sang songs, read, played with toys. sometimes we would watch kids videos or cartoons on tv.

i do exactly what the parents want me to do with the children. however they want to discipline:something taken away, make child go to the room, etc.

it gives me happiness and a sense of fulfillment, to help build and shape children. to know I made an impact in their lives.
