To climb trees, toss rocks and stomp in puddles,
To run through fallen leaves and ride bikes.

To crawl on one’s knees, have fun and be silly,
To read stories, make costumes and put on plays.

To build train tracks, cushion houses and sand castles,
To paint, draw and use sidewalk chalk.

To pick flowers, watch bugs and look for frogs,
To see a rainbow, bird or plane in the sky.

To see a child grow – innocent, strong and wise-
To gain an invaluable experience and appreciate more of life.
To be a nanny is to be a child at heart!!!
