I am easygoing, but at the same time, I can be firm if the need arises. I feel that I have a good grasp on anticipating the needs, wants, and capabilities of the children I work with. I will not simply watch your children, I will engage them and interact with them on their level. I can provide my own transportation, if necessary. I prefer not to disclose personal information of my references on the internet, but am happy to, via e-mail, upon request.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, Hebrew    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Jewish        Work Experience & Education Background   6 years experience, 4 references I have extensive experience working with children of all ages-- newborn to 13 years. In high school, I worked at Score. Educational Centers where I helped run enrichment programs for children. I have worked as a summer camp counselor at both residential and day camps, taught swim lessons, tutored and babysat/nannied. As of 8/26/10: I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a Master's in elementary education. Very exciting. As of now, I will be substitute teaching during the week, but continue to look for a full-time teaching job.
