Hi as You know My Name is Elaina
I worked for doctor Reyes and Waly with their 3 week old Son till he was about 12 months old.

I washed the babies clothes At their home I fold them put them away and organized everything,take him baths dress him feed him put him down for a nap 😴 I Always play with him and what ever they want me to do for him,I clean up after myself and if you have a small mess I will clean It...I Also take the baby to the park and for walks, I read and sing and teach abc 123 and what ever he/she don’t like to do that he/she has to do.I will Sing the song clean up,it seems to work because of the Barney show,he/she will feel like it’s time to clean up,it also can work if they don’t like the get dressed or do something so he can do it with out any problems.kids love me,I also teach them how to understand they can’t always get what they want but they can get everything they need and when they help out and try to be on their best behavior and be patient and understanding they can get what they want only if mom or dad can afford it..and much more about positivity and love and respect, but that is when they can understand better,I have 3 boys of my own, I’m very positive and if I can help with anything I will.
