I love children and because I am too young to have my own, I am a nanny. I have loved every nanny job I have ever had. If you are happy the kids will pick up on that and feel the same, and to me being a nanny is the best job in the world. I love kids and I take care of other children as I would if I had my own. I am not the typical sit the kids in front of the TV nanny. I love to play games, make believe, and have fun. Whatever your child is into, I am as well. I always plan weekly activities, and projects that fit the learning the age group. I play with the children I watch like I am one of them, yet we do have rules that need to be followed. I communicate well with children, so they understand that when what is needed to be done is done, we can just have fun.      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:         Work Experience & Education Background   1 years experience, 4 references I have been a nanny to a 7 year old boy the summer of 07, full time.
