I have worked at a public daycare for infants to school-aged children. I was a nanny for twins for a summer. We went on lots of bike rides, trips to the park and made fun meals. This past summer I helped another set of twins complete the rest of the school year. I love to bring the kids to fun place and explore new areas.
