I've been a professional full-time nanny for a little over 15 years now, but I've worked with children for the past 20 years. I started babysitting when I was about 13 and realized not only how much I enjoyed being around kids, but how easily and naturally I connected with them. I understand them, and even more than that, I value and respect them. Despite the fact that they're not mine. Because I know they are someone's child, they are someone's whole world, and it's such an honor to be a small part of their lives, even for a brief period of time
