My 2 year old niece - she has special needs but I don't
treat her any differently than the rest of my nieces and nephews
HOUSEKEEPING
I am open to some housekeeping responsibilities - particularly children's laundry, cleaning children's bathroom, deep cleaning children's room, and overseeing the children clean up their toys daily. I am also willing to some household duties such as loading/unloading the dishwasher, wiping down kitchen counters, and running the vacuum. If you have housekeeping needs - please discuss with me prior to hire.

SAMPLE SCHEDULES
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN INFANT
I am a huge fan of the Eat, Play, Sleep routine for infants. It basically consists of plenty of interactive play, some independent play (within eyesight/reach), and laying babies down to fall asleep on their own (i.e.not while eating). Having used this routine with many infants, it has been my experience that babies on this type of routine are wonderful self soothers, well rested, and happy children. Examples of "play" for an infant would include things such as reading time, tummy time, play with toys, plenty of stroller walks, a mommy & me class, or small art projects for older infants.
