“My methods are all because of my experiences as a nanny. Parents have asked, 'How do you have an understanding of this when you have no children?' Maybe I just do and that's how it is. It all comes from my personality and what I believe in.”
“You just can't go wrong when you're honest. If somebody's offended by that, it's really quite too bad.”
