I am very energetic and love new adventures. I grew up next to a HPB Church were I began being a care provider. I became involved in the churches program such as AWANA, VBS, and I coached soccer and baseball in their sports ministry while playing in their High school soccer team. through out the years I was able to connect with families and built relationships with them. I cared for infants in the nursery for two years, I have also cared for older kids up to 13 years of aged. I have always enjoyed being around kids. I love being someone the kids can feel safe around and I also love making them smile. I have had so much fun coaching little ones and watching them grow trough out the years. For the past two years now, I have work with a family with 3 wonderful kids(a 3 year old boy and two girls 5 &8 years old). I have cared for them in many ways.

Its a huge responsibility but I enjoy all of it. The kids and I are never bored. We enjoy playing outdoors, playing board games, setting up for dinner, story time before nap/bed time and crafts on raining days. I am also very flexible and can manage last minute calls.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: Spanish, English, Spanish    My Nationality: Mexican  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 2 references One thing I have learned when taking care of kids is that being prepared for the unexpected is a must. kids are unpredictable and I have learned to be flexible and to adjust to their needs.
