I was born in the US but moved to Switzerland for four years and then to Prague, Czech Republic. There I was lucky to attend and international school where I learned my English; which I now consider my best spoken and written language. I grew up spending a lot of time outside, on the playground, drawing, reading, so I imagine the same for the kids I have babysat in the past and the kids I will babysit. I love sports (played soccer for 8 years and ran two half marathons), art, traveling. I just moved to New York from Prague about a month ago and have been loving it so far; however I miss babysitting very much. I babysat a young girl for 5 years from when she was 4 to 9 and I loved it. I picked her up from school, did her homework with her, and then different activities for playtime and then reading stories before bedtime. I have also babysat for other families with children of different ranges between 3 months and 11 years. I am energetic and fun, however I know when to be serious. I am responsible and treat kids like they would be my own. I am cautious yet know when to have a good time. I love the company of children and like to do a range of activities whether its creating something, reading, playing a game or playing sports.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, French, German, Czech    My Nationality: Czech  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Atheist        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 0 references I have babysat one girl from when she was 4 to almost 10 now.
