I have extensive experience in childcare – as a nanny, camp counselor, tutor, and teacher’s assistant with children of all ages (newborn – 12years old). I am a U. S. citizen with a Florida State driver’s license. I have a passion for working with kids. I am patient, honest, reliable, and nurturing. I will treat your family like my own. I value education and it is imperative in my method of childcare. I will always have your child’s best interest, safety, and happiness in mind when arranging activities. I am patient and consistent as a disciplinarian and believe good communication with children is very effective. However, I will be respectful and tolerant of the wishes you have for your own children. To a family, I can offer a pro-active, dependable, and organized set of hands around the house. I am flexible and will always be there for your family - whether it be lending an extra hand around the house or working an extra shift or traveling. I will always be on top of all of the children's needs, i. e. making school lunches, arranging play dates, ensuring homework is done, etc. I would be a wonderful addition to your family. I will work in agreement with you as parents to ensure we are both pleased with the manner in which care is being given to your children. I am patient and consistent as a disciplinarian and believe good communication with children is very effective.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  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:         Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 0 references Camp Adventure Youth Services ###-###-#### Camp Counselor Sigonella, Sicily & Weisbaden, Germany Responsible for programming daily, age-appropriate activities, including songs, field trips, and themed clubs for over 100 children, ages 5 to 12 at a military youth center.
