I have two beautiful grandchildren ages 8 and 4. My husband and I desired to "downsize" and live a more simple lifestyle so we sold our home and moved into a lovely two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. We absolutely love it. Before my children were born I worked as a full time elementary school secretary in Lititz, PA. When they were small I held a part time job as a church secretary also in Lititz. When they were teenagers I went back to school to learn Dental Assisting at the Willow Street Vo-Tech School. Upon graduating from their in June 1995, I began working as a Dental Assistant and continued for 18 years - 15 of those years in the same practice. I have since left and desire a change in my working life. In my private life I love and enjoy spending as much time as possible with my children and grandchildren.. I am very active in my church, Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, Lancaster serving on Church Council, helping in the church nursery, working in the church kitchen, etc. I have a strong work ethic, and I work well with colleagues and superiors at all levels. My "people" skills are excellent, and I have a very kind-hearted, caring nature. I like to take care of people; particularly the very young and the very old. You can depend on me to be a loyal, hard-working employee who shows up for work on time and gives 100 to the job at hand.      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: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references Even though I have not worked specifically in a child care position, I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I know that there is nothing in this world like the love for your own child or grandchild. It is intense. I would certainly care for someone else's child/children with the same care and nurturing I would give my own. Young children are some of the most kind and loving people there are. I would prepare them nutritious meals, according to their parent's instructions, be "down on the floor" with them playing toys, games, and all kinds of "pretend. " One of my favorite activities I had with my own children and now my grandchildren is reading to them. I love that. I believe it is so important in their development of reading and the love of books. I am trustworthy, hard working, and have a kind and caring nature.      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   Education/Training: High School, CPR Training, Vo-Technical School  Warwick High School Class of 1975 Graduate Willow Street Vo-Technical School Dental Assisting Program Graduate      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long 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: April 09, 2014  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Will work with up to: Two children  Will travel with the family: No  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       Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences: I would be willing to discuss/negotiate other duties that I may not have checked off on the list as well as discuss/negotiate the salary.        References   Dr. Owen W.
