Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, I am a nanny and have been doing childcare for around five years. I love my babies and upon starting a new position have decided to write about my experience. Madden is 6 weeks old and I am his very first ever caregiver. I really look forward to watching him grow and learn and being present for many of his "firsts". Nothing is as fulfilling as watching a baby grow.
This week was all about getting to know each other. Newborns always have their cues when they need something specific. I have learned so far that when Madden is hungry, which is pretty much all the time, he makes this funny sound with his pacifier and starts nuzzling in my chest. I had him up higher on my shoulder and he about near sucked my cheek off! I also had forgotten just how crafty you have to be to change a little boys diaper and stay dry!

I am having such a good time watching my baby sister, who is nineteen months and comes to work with me, interact with little Madden. She absolutely adores him! All day I hear "Baby..Uh Oh..Baby!" She pets him, and likes to try and hold him. I let her feed him, with close supervision of course, and she was sooo excited.
That's all for now folks
Ashley
