Stable and well rounded family
Care Giver (Former Employee), New Jersey – April 20, 2013
Pros: the interaction with the family and being treated well is a positive experience for me
Cons: travel during winter was a bit challenging
The typical day includes early morning preparation of the children for school and minimal preparation of breakfast for the adults. My general duties thereafter would be to tidy the house and walk the pet dog as well as prepare for the return of the family at the end of the day. On occasions I supervise house guests (children) and assist with meal preparation – more... for medium sized gatherings.

I learned to live harmoniously with a family that is not my own. It was difficult being away from my own home as it is a lie in job but I was made to feel welcome and given my own space and time to manage in a manner that made me feel comfortable and welcome.

I enjoyed watching the children learn and grow. – less

This was a wonderful Polish family who were very close delightfully funny very caring and loving. They had deep respect for the Patriarch and made every attempt to keep him happy and healthy. He was a very bright man who had worked since the age of 6 and had high expectations of everyone around him. My co-workers were loving and patient. There were – more... days that he could be very challenging but there were far more days of laughter and joy. – less

Fun and enjoyable
HOME CHILDCARE WORKER (Former Employee), Las Vegas, NV – April 10, 2013
Pros: free dinner
A typical day was making sure the kids did their homework, ate, had fun, took baths, cleaned, and went to bed on time. I learned responsibility, time management, and patience. The hardest part of the job was when the kids didnt listen. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to spend time with the kids.
