I have been caring for children in one way or another for most of my life. I have an older sister (yes, she did tend to come with the same duties as a younger one at times) and about 21 cousins. I have babysat for my family, mostly two of my younger male cousins until they became old enough to do without my care, they were ages 3 and 8 when it started and 7 and 12 when my duties came to an end. With them, I would put on movies, play cards, boardgames and video games, help them with homework (I am great with helping kids to understand their work. I especially enjoy the maths and sciences) and I would contribute what I could to whatever fun tasks or projects they had for the day. I am great with girls as well. Doing arts and crafts, making jewelry, etc. Whatever the age, I can find something to make the child's time away from their parents comfortable as well as enjoyable.
