I have babysat for lots of children and also teach children in Sunday School for 30+ years. I have been called mom by more kids than I can count! And 3 of them actually refer to me as their real mom - alongside my two daughters.
I actively engage in playing on the floor with children regardless of age and am a firm believer in getting outside and not playing on electronics - they can be saved for a rainy day. I love books and will read to them whether they understand or not. :) Age does not matter. Trips to the library are a must on my calendar.
I love to cook and will teach young ones how to do so also. When they are old enough to hold a measuring cup/spoon, we will be making cookies and other goodies to share.
We will dance and sing loud and out of tune to many child geared songs. I do not listen to the radio so don't know any modern music, so hymns and Barney songs it is!
