I am a mother to a teenager so I feel I have the knowledge that helps me take care of other children and have compasion that a child needs. I am very gentle and soft spoken and patient with children, but I can also be firm when need be, like when a child needs a time out or talked to about what happened and I don't give into tantrums. But I always respect what a parent wants me to do with their child.      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: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Lutheran        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references I have a 13yr old son and I drove a school bus for a year and then worked with toddlers for 2yrs and then worked with 3 and 4 yr olds for 3 yrs and recently worked with infants for the past 7yrs.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age   Education/Training: College, College Child Education Courses, First Aid Training, CPR Training      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: August 01, 2008  Desired Salary: $1400 - $1600/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed
