Alma N.     Age 69      Female      Hyattsville, MD  - 5129 Flintridge Drive   Member ID: 2469  Seeking work as a : Nanny  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am originally from the island of Trinidad. I am the mother of two teenagers a boy of sixteen and a girl of thirteen. I enjoy children. I am not a strict disciplinarian, I believe in listening to children because when we do we learn a lot. As a nanny I will care for your child as though he or she were my own. I think that is what every parent would require of a nanny. I love reading to children probably because I read a lot and believe children should too. I don't believe that children should look at too much television. A little is not bad but several hours is a no no. Being outdoors, playing in the park, or just going for a walk is preferably to staying cooped up inside. And just talking to kids can be a lot of fun.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Trinidadian  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Divorced  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Roman Catholic        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references I have over four years experience as an elder care worker.
