I have worked as part of a team as a sleep-away camp-counsellor for a total of 4 summers now, working mostly with children aged 6-10. On sleep-away camps, I would prepare activities and games for children in advance, and then spend the entire day with them alongside other counsellors, all the way from wake up & until they would fall asleep (-:

For the past 5 months, I have also been working as a full-time nanny/babysitter, helping out a few families near my home with children aged 1.5 to 7 years old.

With one of my current families that has younger kids that don't go to Kindergarten yet, I tend to arrive to their place around 8:30 to pick up the kids, before taking them to the park / playground / some other outdoor activity, and spending our morning playing together before putting the kids down for a nap in their stroller and taking them home. There, I prepare us a warm lunch, which we then eat together once they wake up. We then play some more / read together / do some arts & crafts / go outside again until their parents come home from work around 3:30, at which point I go home.

With the families with kindergarten / school aged children, I currently tend to pick the kids up from kindergarten / school in the afternoon, and then bring them to their after school activities (such as swimming lessons, gymnastics, soccer, etc.) and wait there till they are done to take them back home. If they don't have any activities that day, I instead take the kids to the playground / park, or go home with them to do some crafting or sometimes assist them with their homework before helping them shower / bathe for the evening and helping their mom set the table for dinner. I then sometimes eat dinner there with them and help get the kids bed-ready before going home, or leave in the early evening once the parents get home from work. <3
