I have previously cared for children ranging from newborn to 10 years of age. At one time, I was responsible for 4 children at the same time. Ages from 2 years to 10 years old. Both parents worked so I took on the role of complete care and playdates for each child. At no time I was ever burdened because I was doing what I love.
