I come from a very close knit family and think family is the important thing in a person’s life. I just gave birth to my first daughter in January and my husband and I are so proud and so excited to have her here and to get the opportunity to watch her grow. I am hard working, loving, gentle, caring, clean, consistant, trustworthy, and a good listener. As a nanny or a daycare worker or a babysitter it is important to follow the parents parenting style when caring for their kids. My personal beliefs and the way that I would choose to raise my children are one thing, but may be completely different from how some parents want their kids cared for, and I respect that. From what they want their kids fed to how much T. V. they want them to watch or different time out methods, it is my job as a caregiver to follow the parents lead when it comes to discipline and such matters.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  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: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 2 references I have been working for New Adventures, a Multicare ran daycare center on the Mary Bridge/Tacoma General campus.
