Take one part grandma who will read, rock, and sing endlessly. Mix in one part science nerd who will teach on nature walks and kitchen experiments (safe ones!) Add a dash of crafter and art lover for finger painting and other creations, and retro music enthusiast for impromptu 50s dance parties (not loud ones). Finally, top it off with a baker who will make fun and healthy treats with your wee ones (and leave your space cleaner than I found it) and you will have me. I am a mother of four, and grandmother of five (so far!) I have worked as a nanny and a caregiver, as well as a biochemist - my most recent job, and I missed the human connection stuffed away in a lab! I miss teaching tiny people the names for different rocks and bugs and the delight on their faces as they discover the wonderful world we live in. (Sorry NO DOGS)
