Julia F.     Age 45      Female      Stafford, VA  - Wendover Ct   Member ID: 26212  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I have lived in VA going on 6 years. My husband recently retired from 20 years in the Marine Corps and is now a Deputy Sheriff for Stafford County. I have 2 children, Collin (16) and Emily (10), who are my world. I worked in the Banking Industry for 14 years prior to taking some time off to acclimate my family to civilian life after my husband's retirement from the USMC. I have a Boston Terrier and a cat, both who keep me pretty busy. I absolutely LOVE children; their energy, their imagination, helping nurture the possibilities life has for them. I lead a very healthy lifestyle and do everything I can to instill that in both my own children. Free time with them usually involves various activities outside (weather permitting), traveling to DC or just finding new places to explore. We do a lot of crafts and activities inside as well (mostly with my 10 year old). Neither I nor my husband smoke or drink and are consistently teaching our children the negative effects of what drugs, alcohol and smoking will do. I made the decision not to get back into the Financial Industry and to pursue something more rewarding. Caring for children would fill that more than any other career path. I am extremely respectful of parents' own style and what they want for their kids and I would follow it every step while offering my own care, love and protection for them.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Spanish, Limited Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references While not in a work-related sense, I have over 30 years experience caring for children.
