  About Me
 
Basically I am a 23 year old kid at heart. I am a responsible, fun loving grown up who loves to be around children. I have always had a knack for kids, and feel as if they know that too. It comes naturally to me, and that is why I love what I do. I grew up with a great family in the suburbs and they have always told me to pursue what makes me happy. Working with children makes me happy so that is what I am still doing today, working with children. My chidlcare style is very positive and energetic. I love to make up games and activities with the children. I feel as if the children I work with are never bored. I constantly am trying new arts, crafts, games, things with the children. I am able to discipline if necessary, but most of the time the children I work with are happy to be around me. They make me happy just as much as I make them happy. I am very loving as well as nurturing too.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
10 years experience, 4 references
I have always been working with children for as far back as I can remember. It is what I love to do, and I believe it shows. Children make me happy and I make them happy. I am a very energetic, upbeat, positive person who can handle chaos well. I am a multitasker who can deal with a lot of things going on at once. I have worked at a children's gym called MyGym for over 5 years now and I have also been a nanny too. I love being a nanny and I find the job very rewarding. It is always nice to feel like part of the family. I respect who I work for and feel like they respect me in return. I come from a very large family and have always been a leader to the little children. I grew up teaching them with my chalkboards and making up songs and dances with them as well. I could go on forever about experience so please contact me if you are interested.
