Sheena W.     Age 40      Female      Woodridge, IL  - 7971 woodridge dr apt 202   Member ID: 2110  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   Working with children is a passion of me and I am willing to help out with whatever it is the family needs to ensure that the children are well taken care of and the family is well set. I would like to become a nanny because I would rather have that bonding time with a few children rather than work in a place where there is 20 children. One on one time is easier this way, and the younger the children the more they need you in their life to help teach them and mold them into the wonderful people they were created to be. I believe in postive reinforcement as well as redirection as a method of discipline. Children need positive role models in their lives so that they may grow up to be the person they have the potential to be. I wish to help in their teaching of morals and educational values; as well as learning good social behavior skills and acceptance for who they are, that will allow them to make a difference in the world.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: No  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: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 3 references I have been babysitting from age infant to 10 years of age since I was 14 years old and have nannied once so far.
