As your nanny, I would establish a close relationship with your child(ren) and be a positive role model. You can expect a healthy balance of activities on any given day. I believe in a authoritative style of childcare. This means that I feel that children need structure and stability, but also need some freedoms to make their own decisions. I think that the most important thing is to provide a caring, supportive environment in which every child is treated with respect and given a good amount of positive attention. I also think that children of all development levels and ages should have a healthy mixture of recreational and educational time.      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: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 2 references I am a teacher who is seeking a full-time nanny position for the summer.
