Pamela H.     Age 46      Female      Chicago  - 6707 N. Greenview   Member ID: 23412  Seeking work as a : Nanny  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   Creative, relational, and caring individual who is passionate about working with young children and their families. Described by colleagues and friends as “a breath of fresh air” and an inspirational individual. Activities I enjoy are running (as in, training for the Chicago marathon. ), going to the gym, Netflix binges, and reading. I laugh a lot, kind of loudly, and believe in the power of giggles and smiles to create a peaceful and secure learning environment. I am creative and love to paint, do crafts, and sew. One of my favourite blogs is The Artful Parent. Also important to know is that I have two daughters who live in Iowa, so I'd be out of town every other weekend. or they'd come visit once in a while for a sleepover extravaganza. We are known to play with Lego for hours, paint our nails, and rock out to Taylor Swift (at an acceptable volume) when we get together. While I have served in big roles in the past, I am most interested in settling into deep, connected relationships with a few people. It's been a great experience to be a leader and serving marginalized populations; I am downsizing my circle of compassion.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, some ASL    My Nationality: Canadian  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   8 years experience, 3 references I have parented my own children from birth to present, managed the nursery at a large church, and worked with children and youth in various areas of intellectual and physical abilities.      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   Education/Training: Master's Degree  I have a BA and a Masters; most of my child care education has been experiential.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    3 - 12 months      1 - 2 years   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      Children's baths and dressing      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: May 01, 2015  Desired Salary: $2000 - $2200/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Greeting/serving household guests      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills      Book household travel arrangements      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff         References   Sandra Grace  Personal friend, and we've enjoyed being together with our children as they've played together.      Nick Connell  Personal friend, and we've enjoyed being together with our children as they've played together.
