Friends and family have always said that I was born to be a mother and caregiver. I find immense joy in helping kids learn about themselves and the world, discover new things, and play. I am a pro-active and enthusiastic person and will always be engaged in and help facilitate the growth and development of your children. I highly value education and it is a priority in my method of childcare. In my childcare position during college, I typically picked the children up from school, fed them, and went straight to the children's museum, or for a bike ride, or for a walk through town, always talking, learning, and exploring. I will always have your children's happiness and best interests in mind when I arrange anything. I am also very sensible, careful and safe and your children's safety and wellbeing are my top concern. To a family, I can offer a very motivated, organized and competent set of hands around the house. I w ill always be on top of all of the children's needs, i. e. making school lunches, arranging play dates, signing someone up for soccer or camp, ensuring homework is done, etc. I am responsible and reliable and will treat your family as if they are my own. In my past positions, I became a loved member of their family and often went on ski trips or out to dinner with them in my own time. I am flexible and will be there for your family to assist and help whenever needed. I am also very willing to travel with a family. I am consistent and temperate as a disciplinarian and believe good communication with children is highly effective. However, I will be respectful and tolerant of the wishes you have for your own children. I will work in conjunction with you as parents to ensure we are both pleased with the manner in which care is being given to your children. I absolutely adore children and I am a strong, skilled caregiver. Although I am sensible and mature, I am truly a kid at heart. I li ke nothing more than to get dirty playing on the soccer field, build a big sandcastle at the beach, or crawl through the playground. If I sound like I would be a good match for your family, then I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.. And please feel free to e-mail me with any other questions or concerns you may have.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  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: No Religion        Work Experience & Education Background   4 years experience, 3 references I have three years of childcare experience, and during this time I have worked for a number of familys with children of ages two and up.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, twins, triplets   Education/Training: Graduated High School or Equivalent, College  I am currently majoring criminal justice in Katherine Gibbs college.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper or Tutor or Mother's Helper or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: greater than 50 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      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      Children's baths and dressing      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: October 31, 2008  Desired Salary: $1200 - $1400/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Greeting/serving household guests      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills      Book household travel arrangements
