Nadeen R.     Age 59      Female      Atlanta  - Inkberry Drive   Member ID: 29640  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Tutor  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am mother of two successful law abiding young men. The younger is living here in the US State of Georgia preparing to serve in law enforcement while the other is back home in Jamaica. I have been living here since 2013 in Colorado Springs, Colorado then moved to New Jersey independently where I worked as a Certified Home Health Aide then recently moved to Georgia in support of my son and his wife. Back home in Jamaica I served as an elementary school teacher for seven years and a business owner providing my community with essential goods and service for over twenty years. Knowing myself growing up my aim and ambition was to ensure that everyone is at a point or stage where they can help themselves whether they are young or old. I have the perception that I will not be happy until the people I interact with are happy. Therefore I put myself in position where I can contribute to society in meaningful ways. I believe that its the little things in life that we do that truly makes a difference and that its in giving that we receive. I am a people person who loves to laugh and put smiles on the the faces I interact with. I encourage people to be believe they are special and very unique knowing they all have contributions to make in life. I seek ways to educate them with the idea that whatever they feed their mind with, will determine how well they do in society. I really dislike when people who are loyal, hardworking and smart are being looked upon with blinded eyes. My hobbies include preparing healthy meals, interior decorating, interacting with people, crafts, writing and sewing for the home.      Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: No  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Jamaican  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 0 references I would relate my childcare work experience with the care I gave to my own children, my sister's children and the children I was responsible for during my teaching experience. Everyone is all grown up now healthy and strong men and women. I must say I have a natural love for people therefore caring for them is never difficult. It only demands patience, knowledge and understanding. I must say, I am aware of the difference in culture but I am open to learning and following instructions. I am here to offer my service and that I seek to do in a humble way. In caring for children I know I have to exhibit a great deal of patience getting to know their likes and dislikes. I know they have to be fed their meals on time, have their regular bath or as required. Also they should have a nap time and they must be supervised regularly ensuring they are not endangering themselves. They should be guided in doing stuff instead of 'spoon feeding' them. I know there should be time designated for activities and the works. I am from a different culture as I have stated above, therefore I am open minded and ready to learn which will add to my flexibility.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, twins, triplets   Education/Training: High School, Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, Associates Degree, College Child Education Courses, Certified Elderly Care Training  I am an Elementary School Teacher trained in my home land Jamaica WI at Bethlehem Moravian College for three years and have contributed seven years in the classroom.
