I graduated high school in 2008 and went on to attend the University of Bridgeport, in Connecticut. After attending U. B. for two semesters I was forced to relocate back home to RI due to financial difficulties. After returning home I began working full time to manage living expenses while also attending school full time. After two semesters of managing school and work, I decided to take a break from school until I became financially stabled. I recently relocated to New York and am seeking immediate employment. I have worked with children from the age of 13 both professionally and personally; and genuinely enjoy doing so. I plan to become a child psychologist in the near future :) In addition to my love for children, I also enjoy organizing & cleaning. I am kind of a neat freak & find myself always straightening something up. I enjoy being outdoors and was employed through a summer camp for four consecutive years; where I directed a challenge course. I believe success is defined as being educated, financially stable, and happy. I love being given the opportunity to be a positive role model, set a good example, and have an influence on a child's future. I take pride in m work and am extremely responsible and reliable. I am down to earth but am well aware of the line between care taker & friend.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Trinidadian  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 2 references I recently was given the opportunity to help my Nana care for my elderly Great Uncle.
