Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I grew up babysitting. I have taken care of all of my (related and non-related) nephews and nieces. I took care of my ex-boyfriends grandchildren (4) whenever needed/asked. I have always been called auntie Shel or my Shel, depending on relationship.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Board games, video games, dolls, cars, crafting, puzzles, educational activities, anything they enjoy.
Baseball, softball, volleyball, ladderball, basketball, tennis, walking, and everything.
Playing with dog(s), showing kids about kindness and compassion.
I just enjoy all activities, whether indoor or outdoor, that keep the child’s brain active, they have fun with, or even they just want to improve their skills.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Was when I was transporting one of my (non-related) nephews to his dads hockey game and we were singing together in the car. When we got to the stadium and they asked me my relationship to get into the players area, my 5 year old nephew beat me to the answer with “are you kidding me, this is cool auntie Shel - best sitter on the planet”. I had that smile for days.
