• Outdoor Activities: Nancy takes our daughter outside daily to parks, playgrounds, story times, pools, and splash pads. She also meets with other nanny friends so our daughter can safely play with other children.
• Creative Learning: Nancy does art projects, reads, and actively engages with our daughter through play.
