The Beginning of the End

Recently I started a job as an after-school nanny. I watch three children every day- two boys in elementary school and a girl in middle school. Josh and Zac are 8 and 9, respectively, and Hannah is 12. Though I am only 19, I have learned many techniques through working as a camp counselor and hanging around younger children to feel I have some experience in the field, but am also old enough to know I could easily be over my head at times. This blog will evolve as my knowledge on how to handle children (hopefully) evolves. I'm sure there will be specific examples on what to do, and what not to do. And as always, I will always be open to any helpful hints or useful techniques for persuading the overly stubborn child.
