My name is Stefanie D., Texas born and raised. and can't wait to leave. I grew up with both my parents in San Antonio, TX, went to college in Austin and received my bachelors in Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin in 2008. I have worked with children from ages 5-12 at a mental health facility as a Counselor and as an Assistant Teacher at an elementary school. I love children, but have found I am much better with them one on one when I can give them my full care and attention. I am 27 years old and single. no settling for this girl. I am not in a rush to get married, but do see myself eventually settling down. I have a very low key life. I spend most of my time reading, at coffee shops, parks, working out and traveling when I can. I do not drink or smoke, and prefer to spend my time with people of like mind. I highly value character and integrity and always strive to keep raising the bar for myself. I am extremely patient and deeply enjoy seeing children grow and learn.

I worked one on one with them teaching them daily life skills like hygiene, how to interact with peers and adults, and authority figures. Coping skills was a main focus for the children I worked with and through non violent approaches, was able to teach children various mechanisms to meet different challenges they meet everyday due to negative issues growing up. My time at Hornsby Elementary as an Assistant Teacher sharpened my skill set in behavior management as well as specific teaching techniques. I specifically worked with special education students helping them with keys to raise their standardized testing scores, but also substitute taught for grades Kinder through Fifth grade. Everyday was something different and required a high level of flexibility and an ability to think on your feet. I have also done babysitting for children ages 3 to 5 years old.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree  Bachelors of Arts in Psychology      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    1 - 2 years   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: February 18, 2013  Desired Salary: $16/Hour or $2400 - $2600/month  Will work with up to: Two children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      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
