I live in a very nice well kept home where I am willing to watch your children, or I can watch them at your home. I am a Christian and do attend church regularly. I grew up the oldest in my family, with one younger brother. I took and taught dance to children ages 2-18. I love children and want many, 6, of my own. My dream is to someday own my own Christian daycare. I feel that children should be outside as much as possible in the summer. I enjoy taking kids to the park and love swimming with them. I feel that all children should read and go to the library. I am not a fan of discipline however I will discipline a child in an appropriate manner if needed. As I say that I truly believe that if I am doing my job correctly then I should not need to discipline any child I am watching. Children get into trouble mostly when they have nothing better to do and as long as you keep them occupied with things that interest them they should be pretty well behaved. When watching children I am a serious about eating healthy. I do not keep many "junk food" items in my home, neither do I keep pop. Lots of water/juice and fruit. I enjoy doing crafts with kids and being creative.       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: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 3 references I have worked many positions with children.
