I believe that it is important to be consisitent and to listen and have eye contact with the child. I believe in getting down to the child's level rather than yelling from the other side of the room. I do not believe in spanking but I do believe in timeouts. I do respect anyone who chooses to do either though.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  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: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 3 references I worked for Birth And Beyond for a year and a half as a case manager/home visitor. I loved this job despite the many deadlines and piles of paperwork because I had the privelege to work with infants and children. I loved when it came time to do a developmental activity which would be anything from throwing socks in a basket to singing a silly song. I worked with a lot of families who were having challenges in their lives which led them to bond less with their children. One of my jobs was to strengthen that bond between the mom and new baby or small child or children. It will always amaze me to see the incredible progress my families made both developmentally and emotionally.      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: College, College Child Education Courses, First Aid Training, CPR Training  I am currently going to school to become a pediatric nurse at American River College.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 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: January 20, 2009  Desired Salary:   Will work with up to:   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      Full meal preparation and service      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      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization
