The Mother Substitute- Tales of a Texas Nanny

About the Book

My book contains highlights of my last 19 years as a professional nanny/ house manager and hopefully sheds some light on what a nanny is and can be. It also contains a few glimpses into my private life. I started writing poetry and children's stories about 8 years ago and on encouragement from friends and people I've worked for, I decided to write about my life as a Nanny.

About the Author

I was born in Electca Texas. My dream was to become a floral designer. I worked at this for several years but I realized I had to do better finacially. Being a single mother of 4, I thought I knew everything there was to know about children. But getting inot the nanny business and reading child care books, that were required by the agencies and then taking a course for home day care through an IBM project, helped me very much. One thinkg that has not changed since I raised my children is the unconditional love that you give and receive.
