I decided to move to Chicago to pursue a theatrical career. In fact, my main goal is to open a children’s theater so I can spread my love of the fine arts. am a responsible, reliable, compassionate, and cheerful person with excellent child care and interpersonal skills. I spent most of my adolescence caring for children and have spent time as an adult working towards my main goal. My 4 year old niece is my favorite blessing and I am thankful to have amazing relationships with the children I used to care for who are now adults themselves. I recently stopped managing a restaurant of four years so I could focus on being around children more and give myself the opportunity to work on theater. I love having the ability to make a difference in a child’s life and I encourage the world to do the same.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  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: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references November 1998 - June 2004 : Regular Baby Sitter Cared for a newborn until 7 years of age Took child on many playtime outings, walks, and to the park Helped the child with her homework Organized games and learning activities Became a family favorite and met with the parents often June 2004 - August 2006 : Summer time nanny Spent full days with two lovely children, aged three and five Oversaw their play schedule and created outdoor activities to enrich their minds Woke the children up in the morning, fed them breakfast and lunch Intervened when disagreements arose and disciplined when necessary June 2007 - August 2007 : Summer time Nanny Spent full time with a 12 year old girl, and occasionally her friends Light Housekeeping Prepared breakfast and lunch Drove her to outings like the movies or the park Created games to entertain an older child that stimulated her brain, instead of just the television September 2009 - May 2010: Border’s Story Time Reader and Tutor Read and tutored children ages 1-10       Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age   Education/Training: Bachelor's Degree  Graduated at the top of my class with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater and Music.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    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      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: January 09, 2015  Desired Salary: $20/Hour or $3400 - $3600/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Greeting/serving household guests      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed
