As I mentioned previously, the vitality of children keep my inner child alive and well. I am dedicated to their growth, their educational success, self-esteem, and positive interactions with other children in the family as well as the community. I am highly motivated and organized, flexible in order to meet the individual needs of each family, responsible and conscientious. Communication between the children and I, as well as the parents and I, is paramount. I have a love for life, and want the children to feel cared for, and to feel good about themselves. First and foremost, I adhere to the parenting style set in place. Personally, I take an authoritative approach, in which I provide a fun, creative and positive atmosphere in which the children can prosper, but use discipline such as time outs and removal of privileges when necessary. I do not spank children. If they exhibit tantrums or are upset, I do my best to reiterate their personal experience, not only so that I may best understand, but also so that they feel heard and take part in constructive communication.      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:         Work Experience & Education Background   1 years experience, 0 references I come from a large family, and have often cared for my nieces and nephews, from age 2 to 11. For close friends, I have provided childcare for their 6 month, 2 and 3 year old children. I also have experience working with children within a pediatric medical setting, as I have received a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine, and worked on several pediatric rotations, including Hamilton Elementary School. Children are incredibly vital, with such wonderment for the world. Caring for children keeps my inner child alive and well. I am a sensitive, sympathetic, caring and loving individual who is creative and able to adapt and be flexible to differing environments. Most importantly, I am responsible, and will respect the parents' wishes for their child's care. In this day and age, finding great childcare is a daunting task, and you never really can be sure that you can trust a stranger with the care of those most precious to you. That is why I prefer to use this trusted service, so that parents can rest assured that they and their children will receive the high quality of childcare they are seeking.       Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years   Education/Training: CPR Training, Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine  I am a very motivated, organized and committed individual.

I am responsible and try to live a balanced life that recognizes the necessity of work, play, exercise, healthy habits, family, and a social life. I am a very conscientious person, warm and outgoing. I approach life with a positive attitude, and try to plan ahead so that I can be prepared for all outcomes of any situation.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out,   Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    3 - 12 months   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      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: March 08, 2010  Desired Salary: Negotiable salary  Will work with up to: Two children  Will travel with the family: Yes,but up to 30 km  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties:    Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Plant care (indoor)      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Run/Empty dishwasher daily
