Children are my passion and they are a joy to be around. My moto for babysitting and being a nanny is: "Being firm, but gentle. " Being firm means being able to do whatever is necessary to keep children in my care safe at all times, and being gentle is being able to be compassionate towards children and their needs, while ensuring they are happy and still having fun. Some of the things I like to do with children is: read, color, play dress up and play with cars. I have an imagination that is just like a storybook fantasy..
I come from a very big family (my mom has 18 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren) and I love kids. I have babysat for mentors, tutors, and teachers of mine to other parents I have found on websites just like this one. I am able to do anything from babysitting to housekeeping and running errands. I have had part-time experiences as a nanny for many years. I have experience with babies as young as 2 days old to children as old as 13. I had my first job at the age of ten (for a relative of course during the summer). It was overnight with a three month old baby. I got paid $10. 00 a night and my duties consisted of feeding and burping the baby every four hours when they baby woke up. This was first job at a early age, but it taught me not only the value of working hard for your money, but the joy of just being around children.
A little about my education background is I graduated from an all girls catholic, college preparatory high school and went right off to college. I recently graduated (October, 2012) with my Bachelor's degree in the top of my class with three honors. I am now doing some of the things I enjoy until I am ready to go back to school full-time and pursue my masters, which is attending school online for my paralegal certificate and being a nanny for a family of three boys, so yes I can master a job with more than one or even two children.. |

Work Experience & Education Background |
|
|
10 years experience, 5 references |
I love kids. I have experience with multiple children, children with food and medicine allergies, as well as children with ADD and ADHD. I have experience with one children to as many as eight children and they were all different ages ranging from three to fifteen. While being on the job, I do everything from
housekeeping and running errands. I have had part-time experiences as a nanny for many years. I have experience with babies as young as 2 days old to children as old as 13.
I am currently a nanny for a family of five (3 children), plus I work with a number of different families for occasional and date nights a couple times a month. The family of five is the family I work for on an every basis. They have three boys, a seven year old, a five year old, and a one year, which I am at home with all day. While being at home (and the baby sleeps) I fold laundry, clean, unload and load the dishwasher as well as sweeping and moping. I also pick up the boys from school, help them with their homework and have dinner cooked and all three boys fed before both parents get home.
