I have helped in the care of my family's children since I was 8 years old, when my mother began an at home daycare. I helped with my youngest sister and cousins, between the ages of 2 and 5, while my mother took care of her charges. When I was 17, I became a full time nanny for my niece, age 4, teaching her Japanese as well as cooking for her and helping her clean her room while her mother was at work.

My latest position has been with a family of 10. Two parents, 3 teenagers, and 5 toddlers. My job was mainly the toddlers, ages 4-10 months, with one set of twins included. it was an amazing experience, filled with amazing kids. I was a live in, and was responsible for the children at least 8 hours out of the day, every day. After this, large numbers of children seem normal, and smaller numbers, simple, with even more time for fun!
