Heather W.     Age 30      Female      Colorado Springs  - Sommerlyn Rd   Member ID: 11190  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am 19 years old, married and loving it. I am pursuing the careers of my dreams: physical therapy and American sign language interpreting. I am still an undergraduate but looking to join the Army and complete their physical therapy program and become an officer after I obtain my Bachelor's degree. My husband and I are looking to start a family of our own soon which is why I believe this will be a wonderful opportunity to work closely with children. I have been caring for children of all ages, off and on since I was a child myself. I am CPR/First Aid certified, extremely responsible and reliable. I have a passion for helping others as well as being outdoors, four wheeling, camping, going to the movies, nothing too out of the ordinary. I am from Idaho but loving it here in Colorado. I hope that you choose me for the care of your children and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: No  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 0 references I have previous experience in customer service and retail, therefore I have great people skills. I have been caring for children of all ages since I was a child myself (about 9 years). I have assisted with children in the Special Olympics as well as in a developmental learning classroom, and outside of the classroom as a personal babysitter. I am actually planning to create a childcare environment beginning mid-late February in my home. Below is my structured plan for day-to-day care. The Sunshine Learning Center charges $168-$188 per week per child. Springs Life charges $135-$180 per week per child. Late pick-ups are an extra $10 per 15 minutes. Comparatively, in my home childcare would be available from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Earlier drop-offs or later stays would be charged and extra $5 per half and hour. To be fair, instead of doing half and full day, rates will be per hour at $4 for the first child and every child after that is $3. Daily Schedule: 7:00-8:00 Breakfast 8:00-8:30 Free Time 8:30-9:00 Music and Pick-Up, Restroom 9:00-9:30 Gross motor skills/exercise 9:30-10:00Fine motor skills/educational activity i. e. sign language, handwriting 10:00-10:30 Story Time 10:30-11:00 Hand washing and Restroom 11:00-12:00 Lunch 12:00-2:00 Nap/quiet time 2:00-2:15 Restroom 2:15-3:00 Craft project/education activity 3:00-3:30 Snack 3:30-4:00 Free time 4:00-6:00 Movie (Twice per week), Outside play (weather permitting) MENU: Everything will be measured based on recommended serving size Monday: B: Cheerio's Cereal and toast L: Ham, roasted red and russet potatoes with vegetables and cheese S: Yogurt and fruit Tuesday: B: Oatmeal with fruit L: Whole wheat grilled cheese and tomato soup S: Carrots and celery with ranch dip Wednesday: B: Whole wheat pancake, fruit, and sausage link L: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with vegetables S: Meat, cheese, whole wheat crackers Thursday: B: Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and fruit L: Chicken Nuggets and baked french fries with vegetables S: Granola bars and fruit Friday: B: Scrambled eggs and toast L: Sloppy Joe's with whole wheat buns and vegetables S: String cheese and fruit All equipment/toys will be cleaned weekly with bleach and daily with lysol spray. *Everything is subject to change.
