Roselaure D.     Age 51      Female      New York  - Central Park West   Member ID: 2800  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Tutor  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am originally from Haiti. I am a nanny because it's one of the most important positions to ever take. I am the one responsible for the well being of someone else's children. I am the one parents count on and trust to help raise their children. Depending on the child's age, I am responsible for keeping their schedules, organizing their days, taking them to the doctor, or getting them to their piano and dance lessons on time. I am also the one who will play goalie when they practice soccer, and retrieve the ball when they practice foul shooting. I may assume the role of an educator, a mediator, and a philosopher. I need to be understanding and empathic, while at the same time being able to maintain authority. Sometimes I am downright inventive, or an engineer who helps assemble toys. I am both a playmate and a disciplinarian. That's what being a caregiver is all about. I am very organized, creative, understanding, nurturing, patient, reliable, and levelheaded. I am able to handle adversity and ready to make quick decisions. I have to be a tower of strength and a well of comfort. That's what being a caregiver is all about. I love children. In addition, I love to keep them happy and safe. In the process we have fun: playing, singing, reading, doing crafts, cooking, baking, exploring, walking, enjoying nature, visiting the local museums & attractions. Plus, a whole lot more. Everyday is a new adventure tailored to the individual child's: interest, skills and hobbies. I want to work with a family where I can be trusted and be accepted as being part of their family and to provide them with guidance and a glowing endorsement of my superior capabilities to care for their kids, and most importantly to meet with the family's diverse and specific childcare needs. Nurturing children is one of the most rewarding experiences I have. It's exciting to witness how a newborn learns to recognize objects and sounds, or how an infant comes to bond to those who love and care for him. Because caring for children is one of the most important and demanding jobs anyone can have. It is an ideal way to distinguish myself in this competitive world.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: French, English, French, Creole    My Nationality: Haitian  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Baptist        Work Experience & Education Background   8 years experience, 2 references I have been responsible for the daily care of many children from the age of 3 1/2 months pre-mature babies to 15 years of age.
