Worked as a full time live out nanny for 11 year old twins, a boy and a girl.

Responsibilities: Every aspect of my job consisted of the childrens needs first and helping in areas that were needed such as personal assisting. Picking up the children from school was the start of my day during the week. Driving them to and from sporting events, practices, car- pooling, appointments, and tutors was common most weekday afternoons. I was responsible for dinner every evening and making sure all homework and projects were complete. With the children becoming more independent at 11, I only had to make sure that they had picked up their belongings, made lunches and were ready for school the next morning. On Saturdays the children interest consisted of shopping adventures, birthday parties, painting or drawing, mini golf, movies, overall letting the kids shine and enjoy the weekend.
