Elise C.     Age 32      Female      North Hollywood  - Vineland Ave   Member ID: 20035  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Tutor  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   A recent graduate of Elmhurst College, I am looking for a full-time nannying position. I have always been passionate about kids; I started babysitting in 8th grade and have been nannying since my freshman year in college. Majoring in psychology and working with kids, I have learned why and how important a child’s environment when he/she is growing up, when it comes to the food he/she is eating, what he/she sees on TV, and whoever he/she is around, including a nanny or babysitter like myself. I have a diverse background when it comes to working with children. When it comes to nannying, I am a quick learner. I pick on a child’s habits, likes and dislikes, what their routines are. I help with meal preparation and clean up, naptime and bedtime, schoolwork, going to different activities or going to the park/pool. I am very observant and someone who pays very good attention to detail. Besides nannying, I’ve tutored for 3 years in reading, science, and math. Additionally, I have helped children with their letters, numbers, writing, and reading. Furthermore, I have 1 years experience on my belt with coaching volleyball, one of my favorite jobs so far. I am very passionate about a child’s well being, from learning about their development in my psychology classes, as well as having what I believe to be the “mother” in me. I am a very active and healthy person; I love playing sports and doing outside activities. I like to read, cook, bake, hang out with friends, volunteer, ride my bike, and in general be social. I am kind, patient, caring, responsible, and someone kids and adults enjoy being around. Right now, I’m living in Chicago; in two weeks, I will be living out in North Hollywood. I’m in the process of renewing my CPR & First Aid certification, as well as becoming Trustline certified.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Spanish    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   2 years experience, 3 references I have been babysitting for over 7 years now and I have been nannying for about 2 years now.

With the first family I nannied for, I provided childcare for three children under 3 years old. I helped with meal preparation, nap time, clean-up, playtime, taking them to different activities, and light housework. I like to encourage reading and learning when I nanny for children, as I would bring books from the library to read with them and practice the alphabet with them. I have also nannied for a family, helping out with a 6 week old, 1 year old, and 2 year old, helping out with the same tasks as I listed before. I think one can say I truly love working with kids.

I also have two other employement references that I did not list but can gladly provide.      Alayna  Alayna is one of my closest friends and has seen me work with her own siblings. She knows me best and knows how much I care and have fun when working with kids and their families.
