I'm a child and youth care worker and a nanny. I've been taking care of newborn babies for fourteen years and I have been a nanny/babysitter for over 200 families now (because many of the families are from out-of-town). I'm also a birth and postpartum doula -more on that later. I love kids. I love babies. I'm really not so good with teens. Because of my different roles, I've worked with a vast range of families. African refugees, parents and children with disabilities, blended-families, same-sex couples, old parents, teen parents, parents with only-children, parents with many children, mixed-race families, hippie families, tech-addicted families, multilingual families, grandparents raising grandkids, wealthy families, socioeconomically-low families. You get the picture; all kinds of families.
I was getting my hair done a while back and started going on about a set of adorable siblings when the hairdresser cut me off and said- you need to blog! People want to read that stuff! I like to write, I like to reflect, so I thought- sure, what the heck?
