A need to be constantly busy and taking care of others to make myself feel satisfied. Children are one of the greatest creations God has put on earth, and to help take care of them, and help them grow is such a blessing. To help change their lives and watch them grow is was makes me truely happy. I have a 17 year old sister and a 15 year old brother, and a 5 year old sister. They are my life and world. I would do anything for them to help them be successful, and in return would do the same for someone elses children. Taking care of children isn't just a job, it's something you put your whole heart into and love them. If you don't have love, and passion, then your job isn't going to be done to the best. And when I do something, it's the best or not at all. I love sports, basketball, swimming and track were my favorite. So to be outdoors and play with children is amazing. I am a hands on type person. I don't just say do something, I like to get involved and do it as well. I treat them as if they are my own family. To help children grow as I would if they were my own. To help teach them independence and self motivation. To help them so that when they grow up they will be young respected successful adults.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references I have worked as a nanny out in Connecticut for a family with two 10 year old twins, a boy and girl, and a 15 year old girl.
