I have lived in Virginia my whole life and I love it here. I love kids and love teaching them new things and watching them grow. I was raised as the youngest but have many cousins and a 7 month old niece and I enjoy watching them grow up and see who they have become. I have never been a nanny before, but I have a lot of children experience as I have worked in the daycare field for almost a year and a half now along with retail jobs related to children. Being around kids is just one of my favorite things because you always learn new things and always have fun. I love kids, animals, scrap booking, cooking, photography, traveling, ice skating, tennis and spending time with loved ones. I am very interactive when it comes to caring for children. Popping in a video is not my idea of watching a child instead I believe using there imagination and helping one develop their personalty. Children need constant care and attention. I have a very well mannered temper and can keep my head straight. I believe my calling in life is to work with children. I love kids, and it seems that they have always been drawn to me. I will follow the parents guidelines while making sure the kids are having fun with whatever they're doing. I am a very easy person to get along with, and I have lots of patience when it comes to children.      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: Italian  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Other        Work Experience & Education Background   1 years experience, 2 references I have worked in the daycare field for almost a year and a half now along for working retail in children stores.
