Been taking care of children since I was 12. I cared for my infant sister but I hardly remember as it was so long ago. I also babysat my aunts three boys for 6 years up until last year. The youngest just turned 10 and the oldest will be 17 this year. Since February of last year i've been working for a mother who has twins, they're age 4. It was full time. I prepared breakfasts, lunches, snacks and sometimes dinners. I did light housecleaning, supervised tons of playground play, read, did art with them and even taught them how to read simple words. I also drove them to preschool 1-2 times a week and occasionally I ran errands for the mom. A lot of what I performed here is what I did for my aunt. As a caregiver to kids I focus on anything surrounding art, good will, peace, BOOKS, nature, playground play and lots of guided interaction w/ other kids etc. I'd say library trips and reading books is my favorite experience with kids. I just love being able to cultivate and nourish their imaginations. :) It's rewarding. I am not a student. I attended one year of junior college and one year of art school. I am hoping to take a couple classes in the fall. This is the reason i've left my last job. My passions include anything artistic. I love to write, read, paint. I am very flexible, open-minded, loving, humble and positive. References available upon request. Hopefully, you see some potential and we could set up an interview. :) Warmly, Kezia      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Spiritual - Not Religious        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 2 references For a period of 6 years I babysat on a regular basis my three cousins, all boys.
