I have found that over the years I have bonded with lots of my children's parents. I now have ended up babysitting a lot of them that I have taught over the years. I feel that parents appreciate my honesty and loyalty when it comes to talking with them on a one to one basis at the end of each day.

I love to sing and dance with the children and they always love to get involved. I find its a good release for them,especially on rainy days when they cannot go outside. I also love story-telling and putting on funny voices when reading aloud to children.

I love that everyday is different and that over time you form a bond with both the children and parents. I am always learning in this job, whether it be from the child, parent or co-worker, everybody has something new to give.
