I am single with no children. I come from a single parent home in which I helped raised a brother 10 years younger than me. I know it may sound cliche, but I sincerely believe children are our future and it takes a village to raise a child. I started my work experience in high school volunteering at the local YMCA mentoring children ages 5-7 in a before and after school program. I assisted them with homework, special projects, & planned/participated in extra curricular activities. When I became a senior in high school, I began working for Sears Portrait Studios where I quickly became the "go to" photographer for toddlers and infants. I have always had a love and special connection with "little people". lol I have also held nanny positions, living in and out of the families home for approximately 3 years. I have cared for children as young as 2 months and as old as 15 years old. (One of them being a "special needs" child who suffers from Cerebral Palsy. I do not have an official certification for CPR but I have had several CPR classes and I am comfortable and confident in the knowledge I have in case ofan emergency. I also have a few life gaurd ttraining sessions under my belt. If you have any questions or would like contact information to verify any experience please feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your "little person", and hopefully starting a beautiful working relationship. Thank you & God bless.      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: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 4 references Babysitter for 16 years- Babysitter for several different families and relatives since the age of 15 Volunteer at YMCA for 4 years - Counselor in before/after school program Photographer at Sears Portrait Studios for 2 years- Infants and Toddlers Live in nanny for 2 years- Was responsible for the care of a 2month old girl.
