songwriting



I have been a nanny since I was legally old enough to work, and I have always enjoyed it. These days, I have several families that I work for and I really have become more of a family member to them. I have spent years taking great care of their kids and have learned much about myself in the process.

When I watch kids, I always try to avoid the normal babysitting habit of putting movies or television on for them the whole time the parents are gone. Instead, we spend our time making games, drawing and songwriting. Songwriting has been a serious past time between the children I watch and myself for as long as I have been a nanny.

At the end of each month, I have the kids put on a performance of their songwriting skills for the parents. Everyone always has a great time, and I know that the parents appreciate that I get the kids out from in front of the tv. I love helping kids get creative and I feel that songwriting is a great way to do so.
