I am single and have helped care for nieces ad nephews in my family, along with job related childcare responsibilities. I am warm, compassionate, reliable and kind and adore children.. I especially enjoy reading with them, and for slightly older kids, giving them homework assistance. I am a firm believer in mental, as well as physical stimulation as children learn through play and live what they learn. Also, I enjoy taking the children for strolls and to the nearest parks as I believe in outdoor exercise and think that kids should not always be cooped up inside the house. I read a lot as I like the written word and like watching movies in my personal time. I am from a large family which I consider an asset as this is good for social as well as emotional support.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Jamaican  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 2 references I have over five years of experience caring for families in New Jersey, Stamford, Norwalk, and Fairfield Connecticut.
