My family and I are planning to relocate to the Columbus, Ohio area in the next few weeks, and it's my desire to take care of people rather than companies. I adore babies and hope to have another soon. My son, Adam, is already 7 years old and loves to play the role of big brother around other kids. I am a passionate reader, believe in the importance of healthy meals and snacks (Adam's lunch always includes yogurts and fresh veggies), and love finding teachable moments in every day matters. ("Mommy, why is it warm upstairs in the winter and cold downstairs?" Cue up the balloon-in-the-freezer experiment. ) My favorite things are books, gardening (my brown thumb gets greener every year as I learn), more books, coffee, and music. I would adore the chance to spend my days contributing to something that matters - the care of a child - rather than guarding an Executive's calendar.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   7 years experience, 3 references My childcare work experience centers around the care of my own son, now 7, and my niece and nephew, ages 1 and 5. Please note that the experience I list to the questions below refer to these three children. As I trade my business attire for kid-friendly clothing, I intend to focus on the critical nature of childcare and all it entails: from playing in the dirt in the Springtime to learning how to respect others. Children are endlessly curious, and I am incredibly fulfilled having spent an afternoon in the kitchen with my son (Adam), or bent over a gluey craft with him and his friends. Even struggling over rules and instructions, as taxing as that can be, brings reward. Something gets accomplished that impacts a kid more wonderfully than an executive's assignment could ever offer to. I will cherish the days I get to exhaust my own imagination sharing long hours with children. I expect they'll teach me more than my college courses ever could.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 1 - 2 years, 5 - 10 years   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree  Bachelor of Science in Education and Human Services, Organizational Leadership      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Part Time  Work Hours: 20 - 30 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      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: April 15, 2013  Desired Salary: $8/Hour  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes,but up to 10 km  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      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)      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         References   Nancy Anderson  Family Doctor's medical assistant, fellow parishoner, personal friend of 6 years.      Karen Seiter  Currently coordinator of student recruitment at United Theological Seminary.
