I obviously enjoy well behaved children but I know how to be in control of a spirited child. I have had the most experience with children 5-10 years old but have had sufficient experience with children younger than that. I always enjoy thinking up fun new games to play or things to do so the kids are never bored and are constantly stimulated.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, Spanish, French    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Lutheran        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 3 references Ever since I was in high school I have had a real knack for child care.
