When my first grandchildren (twins) arrived prematurely, I became their nanny 4 days a week. They had heart monitors and different nutritional needs. After 6 months, I became their regular sitter because their mother decided to stay home. Since then, 4 more grandchildren have come and I've cared for them all.
