Amethyst Y.     Age 34      Female      Tampa  - Amberly Place/Bruce B Downs   Member ID: 17672  Seeking work as a : Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am a fresh college graduate with an Associate's in Baking and Pastry. I also just recently moved to the Tampa Palms area and have full availability. I enjoy cleaning, organizing, and cooking/baking for others. I especially love spending time around children and pets, and get along well with both. I have a history of helping out family and friends with various forms of sitting (house, pet, baby, etc. ), housework, errands, party planning, and everything else in between. I have a very pleasant and relaxing demeanor, and hope you will agree. The only problem I have at the moment is working on my license and fixing the minor problems with my scooter, so I currently am unable to to transport myself, but I am working towards it as soon as I can.      Valid Driver's License: No  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: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Other        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 4 references I love children, and have always wanted to help out with them, and am usually the one who offers or is called on to help. Although I do not have formal, highly-paid training or experience, and although I am younger, I am still very skilled with children. I have babysat and helped stay-at-home mothers in the past, for up to four children at a time in all age ranges, and for anywhere from one hour to overnight. The most recent jobs were for a pre-teen child with Down's Syndrome and ADHD. I also have a few years in customer service experience and psychology education, so I understand how to talk to people and calm a situation should it get of hand (this has come into use a lot with my younger brother who has been diagnosed with Asperger's and is emotionally handicapped). *Please keep in mind that, again, my experience is mostly informal at this point, and limited to what I have done for friends and family. So when I say I have many years of experience, I honestly do, although it may or may not be what you're looking for. I also have a couple of references, but they are either family members or references for other jobs. Thank you for your time and consideration.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children   Education/Training: Graduated High School or Equivalent, Associates Degree  Associate's of Arts in Baking & Pastry.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 20 - 30 hours/week  Position Duration:    Less than 3 months      3 - 12 months      1 - 2 years      greater than 2 years      As Long as Needed      Summer Position      Occasional/As Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      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: November 06, 2013  Desired Salary: $9/Hour or Negotiable salary  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: No  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Full meal preparation and service      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      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills         References   Ozias Figueroa  He was my assistant manager and manager for almost a year at Blondie's Cookies in the Brandon Town Center Mall.
