Worked as an executive in human resources for major Department store. I am now retired, from office work. Still young and active at age 61, I have decided to enter my second phase in life as a loving and responsible babysitter. I have been involved as a volunteer in my grandchildrens schools, and have impeccable references from the principles and directors of said institutions. I was also president of The Puerto Rican Family institute Daycare Parents Association, for 2 years. Attended all of their workshops and seminars regarding all aspects of childcare. I have just started a computer class at the senior citizens center in my neighborhood, so I can become more familiar with the new technology. I consider myself "old school", but at the same time I also try to keep up with all the new and wonderful things that are available to our precious children, always being mindful of their safety and well being. I don't believe in corporal punishment at all, but discipline is important in a child's life. I have only one daughter and two beautiful grandchildren. They are very blessed and don't need me as much these days. I love the park and watching children enjoying themselves in outside and inside activities. Love to teach children how to bake simple cookies and cupcakes. I am a very good cook, and enjoy cooking just about anything.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English, Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Divorced  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references Volunteer at both of my grandchildrens schools for over 5 years, under the sole and complete supervision of the school principal, will provide her personal references.
