I got very close with the children and the family, and I got to act as a "big sister" / "cool aunt" to the sweetest kids.
What I wish was different
It would've been cool to be paid more, but they did pay me more than I asked for.
Advice
If you love children and have a lot of patience, I would definitely recommend nannying. It's a lot of work but it's definitely worth it.

What I liked
My boss was great. I liked learning about all the different intricacies of the business.
What I wish was different
My boss can be a little forgetful and unorganized, but other than more stability at times, nothing.

Algebra Tutor
September - December 2017 • Okemos, MI
What I liked
The job was easy for me to do because Math is something that I like. So teaching that was fun.
What I wish was different
More contact hours.
Advice
If teaching is something you enjoy then go ahead of it. I believe it is the best way to make your basic concepts even more stronger. Teaching others automatically makes you practice the stuff yourself. In my opinion that is something that can help you in your future classes.
