I am very energetic and creative when it comes to activities as I was a Resident Assistant in college and have a personal appreciation for art and Pinterest. I am flexible for hours and have my own transportation. I am able to prepare meals and have 5 years housekeeping experience. I really enjoy caring for children. I realized I loved being a mentor for young children during my coaching experience. I felt a sense of satisfaction if my children enjoyed what they were participating in. If they laughed or were inspired to go to college as they saw me pursue I felt a sense of satisfaction. I still keep in touch with some of my children and I am very proud of them as I see them continue their involvement in the program as coaches themselves. My personal hobbies include photography, painting, writing, dancing, and trying new places for lunch.       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, Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 1 references My experience includes caring for children in many families. 2 year old girl and 8 year old boy full time for one summer 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl full time for one summer 5 year old boy and 8 year old girl after school and weekends for one year Cheer/Dance coach for kids ages 4-13 for 4 years (group of 15) Camp Counselor for kids age 4-14 for 1 year (group of 10) Tutor for 3 years in various subjects      Childcare experience within the following age groups: 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, twins, triplets   Education/Training: High School, Bachelor's Degree  Bachelor of Arts in Political Science 1 year of Law School      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-In, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 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      Transporting children      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      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: May 13, 2014  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      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      Book household travel arrangements      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization       Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences: Willing to become CPR certified        References   Ally Perez  Nanny for 2 children for a year.
