I answered an ad in the newspaper from Volunteer Services For The Blind when my youngest daughter went into kindergarten. I was matched with a lady named Rose who had vision problems and I was with her for 12 years. I was happy to be able to help her in many ways since her family didn't spend much time with her. I'm a part time nanny for twin boys who are now 4 years old. I've been their nanny since they were 10 months old. I'm 59 years old and really enjoy children and the elderly and animals.
