I have two younger brothers, 9 younger boy cousins, and a two year old goddaughter and 6month old godson. Growing up around all boys I have never owned a barbie doll and spent my time outside playing in the mud and performing spy missions. I consider myself very creative and can always think of something to do and can rummage through the trash to find something that just needs a coat of paint to look new. I am a "mom" to my 5 roommates and not only found our house and made all arrangement concerning our lease and housing arrangments but am responsible for the gathering of rent and utility payments. I love meeting new people and getting put into situations where I can learn new things. I take pride in being a positive role model in a child's life. I believe being a nanny is about become a child's close friend while maintaining an authoritive role to keep the child in safe situations and having the ability to complete nessecary tasks. I enjoy making every experience a learning opportunity and to be an active member in aiding a child in gaining their independence. I really wnat to find a position where I can take the kids to the park, the library, the museum, or the to play in the backyard when I want to.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Spiritual - Not Religious        Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 3 references I have worked in childcare for nearly 9 years and worked with several families.
