- Throughout these years I have regularly sat for several families. One that have a set of twins (boy and girl) from the age of 4, and they are now 13. One that has a 7 and a 4 year old. (The 4 year old has serious allergies, so I do have experience with children who have these circumstances).
- This could include activities such as; breakfast, dressing up, playing outdoors, arts and crafts, homework, going to the park, collecting them from school, diffusing arguments, dinner, bathtime, bedtime and all/any activities in between.
- The maximum children I've had at any one time was 6, and everyone survived!
