Drake Park nanny- Farmington Hills, Michigan

Time: Around 12 noon
Date: 6/22/09

Descibration of children: Twin Girls- 4-5 years old, Older brothers 6-10 years

Dark Skin- Indian? Girls wearing: short sleeve shirt, pink with white trim on end of sleeves and end of skirt. Also had some white print on the front of the shirt. Skirt down to knees. Pink and orange pattern.

Boys: Black shirts- navy green or blue shorts. All kids had on sandals or flip flops.

Nanny: Pink baseball cap, black sunglasses, and hair in ponytail. She had a black hard-rock t-shirt and tan short shorts on.

Nanny did interact with the kids, but only when they came to her. Nanny would speak and talk to them, but again only when they came to her. The nanny parked herself on the edge of the play area and really did not move. She really did not do anything- expect the occasional push of the swing (once and she sat back down). The nanny did not really move from her spot.

The chiildren walked around the playground after playing by themselves for a few minutes, complaining they were bored and hungry.

Nanny, I know the children don't need the supervision that younger children need, but kick the ball around, play tag and run with the kids, BE INVOLVED MORE!!!
