Brenda V.     Age 40      Female      Omaha, NE  - 5435 N. 107th Plz Apt 3   Member ID: 2320  Seeking work as a : Nanny  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I have spent most of my life working with children. I began babysitting at age 11, chose a daycare setting for my first job and spent six years working in various daycare centers. Finally I settled in with a position as a nanny for an infant and a preschooler and doing various temporary nanny work. Then I worked for a new family and cared for their infant son. I currently work for a family with five children that includes one set of twins and one child with mild autism. I also am currently becoming licensed as a Nebraska Foster Parent. I plan on working with children for the rest of my life and trying to make a difference in their lives. I offer a fun environment for children full of learning and structure. I am a very outgoing and caring nanny. I try to discourage unacceptable behavior with fun activities that keep the children busy and play dates. I do think that most of the time when a child misbehaves it is because they are bored. Most of the time I find re-direction the best form of curing misbehavior. I am very organized, especially when caring for an infant and when structure is the needed the most. I enjoy lots of activity.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 4 references I worked in a daycare setting for 6 years and spent the last two years as a nanny.
