Aimee M.     Age 36      Female      Burlington, MA  - 103 Lexington St.   Member ID: 2065  Seeking work as a : Summer Nanny  Position Type: Live-Out,       Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I have continuously worked with children for the past seven years both in a recreational setting and in families' homes. I truly enjoy working with children and have learned a lot, especially because I have spent a lot of time working with children who have special needs. As a summer nanny I would look to provide the children with the care they needed, and keep them occupied during their time out of school. I enjoy being outside so I would hope to do outside activities as much as possible. I believe that children need to be allowed a certain amount of freedom as long as they are safe. I do not believe in physical punishment/spanking but instead would prefer to use timeouts only when necessary.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 2 references I have been babysitting children for the past five years or so.
