I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. When I was twelve I started babysitting, and I always enjoyed playing with the kids. I learned about the importance of routine and was very respectful towards the parents' wishes, making dinner, reading to the kids and getting them to bed on time. I babysat for five years and then became a nanny in college. I also volunteered as a youth leader at my church and worked with the Junior High girls. I enjoy facilitating games and playing with kids of all ages. I am very comfortable with cooking for other people. I even enjoy preparing meals for my family and friends in my spare time! Sometimes my friend will say that I cook to pass the time or to relieve stress. If a child had a temper tantrum because I told them they couldn't buy something, I Read more would stay firm in my decision and let them cry. It can be difficult, especially when they're not your own children, but sometimes you just have to let them cry it out. If it was really bad, I might try to calm them down by reminding them we only have five minutes before we are on our way home and then they can watch their favorite TV show.
