Kids love me. Why? Because I have fun with them. Make up games, play games someone else made up. Read stories. Make up stories. Act out stories. Invent things with common objects (e,g, "What can we use a spoon for besides eating?") Follow child's lead. Explore outdoors, indoors, all the doors. Grandmother type who raised two successful sons as a single mom. Parents love me because I'm dependable, trustworthy, flexible, and fun. Plus I'll do homework with kids so they can spend their time with their kids having fun!
