I am currently a Nursery Aide on Sundays at St. Rita's Church. I have taken a full year of Child Development classes at Century College and am certified in Blood Borne Pathogens and C. P. R. I have taken a babysitter's training class and have gone to the V. I. R. T. U. S. workshop. I used to teach at my church to elementary aged kids and I taught three years of Faith Formation. I have over Eight years of babysitting experience and three years of nanny experience. I have available references. Contact me via E-mail or phone for more information. I believe that childcare should be both fun and educational. I always bring something with me for the kids to do as a fun activity but also encourage creative play in which the child will make up a game or pick something to play. For discipline I use time outs and prefer to lead by example and positive reinforcement. I do not believe in hitting, yelling, or punishing a child. I believe that there is a more reasonable and effective way to discipline children than physical touch.      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, 5 references       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: Graduated High School or Equivalent, College Child Education Courses      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time, 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      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: September 08, 2009  Desired Salary: $800 - $1000/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      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      Event and entertainment planning and organization
