In September, I will begin pursuing my PhD in Developmental Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I will also simultaneously be working at the National Center for Children and Families. I love kids and cannot think of a better way to spend my first summer in NYC than caring for, entertaining, and working with infants and children. My whole life has been dedicated to the well being and development of children and youth, and I would love to bring my passion and energy into your family. Since age 12 I have babysat boys and girls from infancy through 10 years of age. I have experience caring for individual children, as well as watching up to three children at once. During the summer of 2010, I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with a 5-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy who had severe autism. We spent almost all of our time outside at parks, pools, beaches, or just their backyard. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for elementary school students, English language learners, and high school students. In my spare time at Boston College, I served as the coordinator for a music program that worked with children with severe special needs. My favorite activities are reading, watching and playing sports and other games, and just being outside in general. I am not a fan of television and consider myself a very creative and active individual. I cannot wait to have an entertaining and enriching summer, while providing one for your children as well.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references - Regular and occasional babysitter for children ages infancy through 10-years-old for 10 years - Full-time nanny for two children (5-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy with severe autism) during the summer of 2010 (continued as an occasional babysitter for family) - Tutor for elementary school students, students who are English language learners, and high school students for 8 years - Worker at a special needs school (Boston College Campus School) on a weekly basis for 4 years      Childcare experience within the following age groups: 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children   Education/Training: High School, Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, CPR Training, First Aid Training, College Child Education Courses  - BA from Boston College in Human Development and English - MEd from Boston College in Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation - Doctoral candidate at Teachers College, Columbia University in Developmental Psychology      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    Less than 3 months      Summer Position      Occasional/As Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      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      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: June 25, 2013  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes,but up to 10 km  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Full meal preparation and service      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)      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Book household travel arrangements      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff         References   Lauren Rosenfeld  Mother of the children for whom I was a full-time nanny during the summer of 2010 - have kept in touch ever since and I have served as an occasional sitter when on breaks home from college      Kerry DiMatteo  Third cousin with three children (now 7, 10, and 13) for whom I have cared for since each of their births.
