[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get tired of the same book over again.  I talk to my charges about different things in the pictures, change the voices and do other things to make each time different from the last couple times.  Eventually, I repeat some things, probably verbatim after reading the book for the 200th time during a month.  But my charges like knowing the stories while getting something different each time.

I have 8 different tunes for the alphabet song, and three different chants.  I have an unlimited number of ways to incorporate letter sounds into our normal routine, and every time we look around, there's an opportunity to explore counting, letters, shapes,  colors and patterns.

My charges may choose the same made-up game, but I always do something at least a little different from last time.  We may go to the same park everyday, but we don't do the same things in the same order, and we don't talk to just the same 3 or 4 people.

I don't work with young infants because I find the exhausting.  However, once they are trying to do things,  I love it!  My sweet spot is just darting to be verbal up to kindergarten, and no, it's not exhausting for me, at least not every day.  If it was, I would do something else![/quote]

Off topic, but where does a family find a nanny like yourself?? You sound amazing! :)  [/quote]

It's not hard...

I got three new tunes from toddler songs on pandora in the last year.  Others, I've made up or heard other places.  Creativity doesn't have to be innate, I taught myself to look for opportunities to change the way I do things.  All that's necessary is to have an interest.

As to where to find me, or someone like me, that would be the same place and way you would find any other nanny.  Agencies, word of mouth, kids' classes parks, dcum ads, neighborhood listservs, etc.[/quote]
