Christon C.     Age 34      Female      Woodbine  - Scottswood Court   Member ID: 21298  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-In, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am strong because I know my weaknesses. I am wise because I have been foolish. I laugh because I have known sadness. I am now realizing that compassion, mercy and empathy are the most satisfying lessons I have learned. I am currently a nanny to two beautiful twin girls in Maryland. My job here will be ending October 10th. I have over 7 years of paid experience with children. Before my nanny jobs, I had my own classroom in a prestigious preschool. While I absolutely loved having my own classroom full of bright growing souls, I realized I was missing the one on one experience with the children due to having to cram so much curriculum in the day in such a short amount of time. So the parents of one of the children in my classroom offered me a nanny position and I took it and I loved it. It is so much more rewarding to be able to teach children all areas of life rather than just whats required in a classroom. I also spent my summers in high school babysitting an autistic 12-year-old 5 days a week/ 9 hours a day while his parents worked. I learned and gained so much from that experience. I would love to have a chance to talk with you more about any positions you are offering from a childcare position to a childcare/personal assistant position. I have experience in both at the same time. I am a very open person, so feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Talk to you soon.      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: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references I am currently a nanny to two beautiful twin girls in Maryland.
