Annie K.     Age 72      Female      Los Angeles  - P.O. Box 881766   Member ID: 12620  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am a Filipino, a college graduate in an exclusive all girls school in the Philippines with a Bachelor's degree in Commercial Education. Fortunately, I landed a job as a market researcher right after graduation in a management group of an established management and holding company. From then on I had a wonderful career in market research and planning in a retail environment which propelled me to advance to a middle management position as Merchandising Manager for over 15 years. For those 15 years, my husband got unemployed in the last 5 years which eventually led me to look for better paying opportunities to be able to feed my family and continue to provide a better education for my kids. This led me to seek work overseas and came to the United States 10 years ago. Since the time I arrived I worked as a caregiver in a board and care home in Palos Verdes until Oct. 2012 when the owner decided to retire and close the business. As the facility's primary caregiver for over 10 years, I was responsible for assisting the elderly residents in their activities of daily living, planning and preparing their meals, assisting with their personal care and hygiene, medication management, mental & physical stimulation as well a housekeeping. My greatest strengths are loyalty, a lot of patience, sensitive to the needs of others, compassionate and a caring nature which are the basic traits needed for a caregiver. These, I believe are the main reasons why I withstood the test of time as a caregiver for all these years.       Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Filipino    My Nationality: Filipino  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Widowed  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Roman Catholic        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references My 10 years experience here in the United States was mainly on taking care of the elderly. I believe that in the same manner as taking care of the elderly, taking care of children should be done with tender loving care but in a more upbeat fashion, meaning, more actively involved in their activities and being more energetic to meet the demands of their highly active nature. As a mother myself, I had 2 boys and 1 girl, so it is my mother's instinct that will guide me in caring and protecting the child that is entrusted to my care.      Childcare experience within the following age groups:   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree, CPR Training, First Aid Training, Nursing Assistant diploma      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      Children's baths and dressing      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: March 11, 2013  Desired Salary: $16/Hour or $3800 - $4000/month  Will work with up to: One child  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Full meal preparation and service      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Greeting/serving household guests      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills      Book household travel arrangements      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization
