Children need to be well supervised and have fun at the same time. I am loving and nurturing, but not afraid to be firm when need be. I babysat in my home for sixteen years while raising my own four children. I always had at least two or three infants and a toddler or two. My husband, children and I wanted them to feel right at home. So with a lot of love and cuddling they did. I also taught sunday school for 20 years. So I have had lots of experience with different ages of childern. And I can plan a craft to go with a book a video an activity or a field trip. I also assisted in the preschool that my children went to. So if you are seeking a loving, playful, nurturing, patient, and experienced caregiver for your children who loves to cuddle, sing songs, bake, plan crafts and activities, but who will also take charge and show authority, then e-mail or call me anytime so we can talk to figure out what is best for your childrenI love kids. They make me smile. And I love to see them smile. I think that caring for a child is one of the most important things that you can do. Babies and children need a warm and loving environment. And they should have fun while learning. I believe strongly in positive redirection, and Ilove to engage children in fun activities, such as cooking and baking, in which they can assist me, and really develop and strengthen their sense of independence, and self worth. I am a very creative person. And I can whip up a craft to go with a story book or a video or a nature walk. And of course children should be well supervised and organized.      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: Methodist        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references I babysat in my home for sixteen years.
