I am currently a college student at Southern Vermont College majoring in radiology. I have a lot of experience with kids though. I have worked as a camp counselor, babysat for 9 years, taught 2nd and 5th grade religion at church and am part of the big brothers big sisters program. I also have been a dancer for 16 years, and taught dance classes for 5 years. I am looking for a full time live-in job as I am going to take a year or two off of school. I am willing to make a year commitment and will pay for my flight there and home. I am a kind, caring, compassionate person who loves children. I am very organized as well. I love the outdoors, and being on the ocean but as well as the pool. I am a strong swimmer and would have no problem supervising in the water area. I am a great role model and just love teaching children new things. I hope to be a nanny to a fun loving family preferably by a pool or the ocean as I am sick of freezing here in Vermont. I would like a family that likes educational as well as fun things in the summer as well as during the school year. I do not punish children but redirect them. I have experience with ADHD and autistic kids as well. I am a very patient person who remains calm during all situations. I can't wait to be a nanny somewhere WARM. I have excellent references. Look forward to hearing from you, Megan I do not punish children but redirect them.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Roman Catholic        Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 3 references       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, special needs children, twins, triplets   Education/Training: College, High School, First Aid Training, CPR Training  I just finished my sophmore year in college.
