Lacy M.     Age 35      Female      Stevensville  - S Street   Member ID: 10001  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor  Position Type: Live-In, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   My greatest passions are teaching and communicating. I grew up as a competitive figure skater, trained throughout the US, and skated professionally in a show. Those years on the ice taught me a lot about effective communication and conveying messages clearly, and now as a coach and choreographer I get to study how best to relay information to my students in a way that is helpful and beneficial for them on and off the ice. Much of my skating life has been paired with being a nanny. I’ve had over four years experience taking care of children ages 13 months- 11years, both as a live-in and live-out nanny. I think what I love about being in childcare most is the opportunity to be actively involved in a child’s life. It is an important and rewarding responsibility to engage in helping children grow, and I love it. My other interests and hobbies include writing, dancing (off the ice, too. ), teaching power skating for hockey players, and baking. I am currently looking to relocate to the Chicago area and am interested in finding a live-in nanny position there.
