Justine L.     Age 35      Female      Brooklyn, NY  - bridge st   Member ID: 21135  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I have about 8 years of child care experience. I mostly have watched children between the ages of 6 months - 9 years old. I have watched after two siblings together before and I have experience with twins. So, I have no problem watching multiple children. When I watch after children, I prefer to keep them occupied with different activities, be it indoor activities or outdoor ones. The types of activities really depend on the child and their age as well as personality. It could be us reading together, me reading to them, painting, drawing, coloring, arts and crafts types of things. Also, when I look after children, I do try to teach them to clean up after themselves. I try to teach them to be independent: dress themselves, tie shoelaces, button their shirts/dresses, use the potty, etc. I am a quiet, polite individual. I get along with families quite well. I am fully aware that no one family is perfect, we all have our difficulties, therefore I do not judge. I am a firm believer in patience and open communication as the best solution to most problems.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   8 years experience, 3 references I am 26 years old. I have worked as a nanny/babysitter for about 8 years now. In my last position I was a nanny for boy and girl twins. They were 14 months when I started and 2 1/2 when I left. I still occasionally watch them. I have a good amount of experience caring for newborns, toddlers as well as school aged children. I have worked as a tutor before so I am most comfortable with homework help, if any is needed.. I am also comfortable with light housekeeping. I really do love kids, and they seem to love me, too. I am a very patient, calm person. I am able to provide discipline while remaining understanding and loving. Which I think is very important. I feel that the best thing about being a nanny is being able to watch the little ones grow and change and become their own little people, with their own little minds and preferences. It's a beautiful thing. Also, you get to be loved unconditionally. I am able to handle tough situations that might occur when looking after kids, as there have been a few. In my last position, we had a little trouble getting the girl twin to chew her food and occasionally she'd choke. Whenever she did I stayed calm, was able to apply first aid while keeping her calm as well. She even tried to eat the food she had coughed up once, that is how unaffected she was by the ordeal. There are other ones as well, but those are mainly dealing with older children.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, twins, triplets   Education/Training: College      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    3 - 12 months      1 - 2 years      greater than 2 years      As Long 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: December 04, 2014  Desired Salary: $15/Hour  Will work with up to: Two children  Will travel with the family: Yes,but up to 10 km  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required
