Rebecca H.     Age 56      Female      Santa Ana  - Ponderosa St   Member ID: 29022  Seeking work as a : Nanny or infant care  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   My name is Rebecca Harden, and I am a trained infant-care specialist and nanny. Being a nanny is the perfect career choice for me. As a professional caregiver, I invest my love, time, and attention into every child for whom I care. With guidance, gentle discipline, and appropriate boundaries, I strive to develop each child’s unique talents while building self-esteem, instilling self-respect, and reinforcing the “golden rule”. A nanny’s role is to help guide, not lead, children on their paths to self-discovery. Offering choices and consequences not only builds independence, but also important life skills such as self-control, self-confidence, and the ability to handle stress. Child-directed play allows for valuable learning experiences whereby children are able to interpret and, oft-times, solve complex situations on their own. • 20 years of experience as a professional career nanny • State of California Early Child Education Teaching Certificate • Educated in RIE foundation and method • TRUSTLINE approved • Postpartum liability insurance • Water Safety Course, Pediatric CPR & First Aid • Experience Working with High-Profile Families • Baby Sign Language • Trained as infant care specialist/postpartum doula • Parent Education • Special Needs experience • Etiquette, Decorum and Deportment for children       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references I am a career child caregiver with 20 years experience.
