Jennifer G.     Age 33      Female      New York, NY  - Amsterdam Avenue   Member ID: 15554  Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I recently graduated from Boston College in May with my BA in Human Development and English and my MEd in Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation. In September, I will begin pursuing my PhD in Developmental Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I will also simultaneously be working at the National Center for Children and Families. I love kids and cannot think of a better way to spend my first summer in NYC than caring for, entertaining, and working with infants and children. My whole life has been dedicated to the well being and development of children and youth, and I would love to bring my passion and energy into your family. Since age 12 I have babysat boys and girls from infancy through 10 years of age. I have experience caring for individual children, as well as watching up to three children at once. During the summer of 2010, I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with a 5-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy who had severe autism. We spent almost all of our time outside at parks, pools, beaches, or just their backyard. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for elementary school students, English language learners, and high school students. In my spare time at Boston College, I served as the coordinator for a music program that worked with children with severe special needs. My favorite activities are reading, watching and playing sports and other games, and just being outside in general. I am not a fan of television and consider myself a very creative and active individual. I cannot wait to have an entertaining and enriching summer, while providing one for your children as well.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   4 years experience, 1 references I worked as a server and housekeeper at a senior living home (independent living and assisted living units) for four years during high school. - Prepared and served food - Cleaned facilities - Called bingo - Provided entertainment for seniors such as Wii tournaments and organizing piano recitals      Skills: None Provided   Experience and skills with following Diagnosis : None Provided Education/Training: Caregiver / Companion, College, Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    Less than 3 months      Summer Position      Occasional/As Needed   Prefer to work in:    Home Health Care      Retirement Homes     Desired Start Date: June 25, 2013  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Willing to travel : Yes,but up to 10 km  Duties:    Housekeeping      Laundry      Grocery Shopping      Meal Planning / Preparation      Supervise Home      Errands      Clean Bathroom      Assist with Pet Care      Assist with Walking      Vacuuming      Hand Wash Dishes      Escort to Appointments      Plan Visits, Outings, & Trips to Visit Neighbours, Friends, Family         References   Lauren Rosenfeld  Mother of the children for whom I was a full-time nanny during the summer of 2010 - have kept in touch ever since and I have served as an occasional sitter when on breaks home from college      Kerry DiMatteo  Third cousin with three children (now 7, 10, and 13) for whom I have cared for since each of their births.
