My Name is Cindy Theodore. I am a 23 year old young women currently working on my Bachelors Degree in Special Education/Psychology. I have always known that any career that I chose would involve children. Being a Nanny allows me to not only be surrounded by children but to use my skills and experience to help develop into happy and healthy kids. My family and friends have always called me the baby whisperer and I think that is because children respond instinctively to my nurturing and positive energy. I have found over the years that using my upbeat and outgoing personality makes it possible to get children to complete tasks that they may not want to do or would resist if it is presented to them in a more stern fashion. And while being fun and a cheerleader for my kids is a big part of my job it is equally important that I be calm, reassuring and loving when a child needs me to be. My ability to provide the security and feeling of safety for children is perhaps one of my greatest strengths. I have an ability to establish emotional connections with people very quickly which has allowed me to not only to determine the emotional needs of the children I care for but also helps me be in tune with the needs of the family and offer assistance or suggestions when appropriate. To me this is what being a Nanny is all about.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Haitian Creole    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 5 references ●More than 4 years’ childcare experience ●Ability to communicate effectively with all ages ●Extensive background in working with preschool, primary and elementary school children ●Skills-oriented person, good professional attitude and highly motivated individual ●Strong knowledge of stages of physical, emotional, cognitive, social and cultural development of children. ●Immense knowledge of activities and experiences appropriate for age groups and stages of development of children. ●Demonstrated commitment to ongoing professional development in the early childhood profession       Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, special needs children, twins, triplets   Education/Training: High School, College, Associates Degree, CPR Training, C.N.A.
