Creative, nurturing nanny
India has babysat my three children (6,4 and 20months) numerous times over the last five years. She’s looked after them for full days, or just come in the evening and has done their dinner and bedtime routine.
India has such a natural gift when it comes to children, she’s nurturing and always takes time to get down to their level and care for them. I think her talent is because she’s guided by empathy for what they are feeling (eg: understanding there is a root to most meltdowns), which I’ve found is quite rare in people without children! However she’s firm when she needs to be and my children respond well to directions from her: I don’t think anyone can get them to put their coats and shoes on so quickly!
Her creativity and playfulness makes her a wonder at games and play, or coming up with ideas for rainy day projects, or telling stories.
My three all love India to bits. We all miss her a lot now she has left cornwall!
