I grew up babysitting my younger brother and his friends, and we had adventures together all through high school. Once I got to college, I missed kids so much that I signed up to be a Sunday school teacher for two-year-olds. I love to learn, and I am good at teaching kids too. I was homeschool until I was in third grade, and I loved my mom as my teacher and her friends teaching me. I enjoy making learning as creative as possible. I love to have fun, and I also love to educate. My goal with kids is to make them feel special, enjoy their unique personalities, and help them grow as individuals. I am not a harsh disciplinarian, and would feel most comfortable if the family did the disciplining the children.      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: German  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 3 references I am currently working as an intern at a large magazine in town on Monday, Wednesday and two Fridays out of the month.
