​I have been taking care of children all of my life. The earliest I can remember taking care of a baby was when I was 5 years old. His mom would go to work and the only instruction she left was not to open the door for strangers. I prepared the baby's bottles, fed and burped him, bathed him, played with him, put him down for his naps, etc. ​​ From that time I have been taking care of children. During high school I babysat in the evenings and on weekends. During college I worked as a nanny. Then I taught for 5 years. Thereafter, I worked as a nanny for another 2 years.
