My name is Lexy, I am 24-years-old and I live in Akron PA (which is in Lancaster County). I have one younger brother and I grew up in a two parent home -my mom & dad have been married for almost 26 years- and I am enjoyed to a soldier whom I love very much. I grew up in a Christian home, while I consider myself a Christian, I am not particularly religious. I have a dog named Bella and a cat named Maggie. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I am willing to travel up to 20 miles for a job. My hobbies are reading, writing, traveling, photography, sitting outside -enjoying the nice day-, hanging out with my friends, etc. I like chicken and pork, I do not like beef. I would rather be sitting outside with a book then plopped in front of the television. I have about a year's experience nannying (I have watched up to 4 kids at a time) and I love it. I enjoy having that positive impact on a child. When my grandmother was alive, I helped out at her daycare for a couple of years. I am very outgoing and friendly. I am also a major people person. I am the type of person who kids tend to kind of. flock to. On a scale of strictness (1 being lowest and 10 being the highest, I am about a 5. It all depends on the issue/s and the kid/s. I would rather read to child/children, play outside, color, etc then sit them down in front of the tv.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  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: Baptist        Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 2 references I have about a year's experience as a a nanny/babysitter and about two years experience working in a day care.

My second time in college I majored in Journalism (I went 2008-2009) but I didn't really want to be there so I didn't care about my grades. In the next year or two, I want to go back to college for message therapy and archeology.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    Less than 3 months      3 - 12 months      As Long as Needed      Occasional/As Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      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: September 25, 2013  Desired Salary: $8/Hour or Negotiable salary  Will work with up to: Four or more  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      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 laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      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      Event and entertainment planning and organization
