I have always considered myself very optimistic. I plan on becoming either a pediatric nurse a nurse administrator, or a midwife. I am double majoring, nursing with behavioral sciences emphasizing in psychology. I am going to be very successful in life because I always set high expectations and goals for myself, and achieve them. My family means the world to me. My friends are my support system and I hold those who are my true friends close to my heart, and I will be one of the best, and most loyal friends a person has ever had. I love my life, and I don't take anything for granted. I believe everyday is a gift from God and that we should cherish every moment we're here, good, bad, or otherwise. I love working with children, and I have a lot of experience doing it. Families I watched in Ohio, before moving to Utah were very sad when I moved, and have told me that their new nannies or babysitters just are not the same. I love to have fun with the kids I am watching. I normally get attached to the children on a deeper level, and grow to love them as my own. Children love me because I am fun, energetic and outgoing, but I know when to slow it down before things get too out of hand.      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: Latter-Day Saints        Work Experience & Education Background   2 years experience, 5 references As far as working as a nanny, I worked from July 2007-December 2008 as a part time nanny in Ohio, before moving out here to Utah to continue my nursing degree at Weber State starting this fall.

I have volunteered with handicapped children basically my entire life, due to the fact that my older sister has severe cerebral palsy.
