Francine S.     Age 50      Female      Germantown, MD  - 18832 MC Farlin Dr   Member ID: 4193  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am a fun, responsible, energetic, nurturing stay at home Mom of two girls ages 10 and 7. They have always come on jobs with me and been the best of friends with the children we watch and are never a problem. I majored in Early Childhood Education at Montgomery College and worked in their child care center for four years while there. I have always had a love for children and always seemed to be the adult who had tons of kids surrounding them playing tag or hide and seek when I take my children places to play. I am responsible and can be counted on to do what's asked of me by my employers. I bond well with the children I watch and treat and love them as if they were my own. My childcare style is that I am very involved in the children I watch. We're always playing some type of game, whether it be outside or inside. Very little time is spent watching TV or using the computer. When naughty behavior arises I try to adress what may be causing that behavior. I. e. hunger, tiredness, boredom. Then I adress that need. If the naughty behavior persists I try to distract, and if all else fails there's the naughty corner. I am very flexible and laid back and don't get ruffled easily. I am good in chaotic situations and am very responsible and dependable.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, Signed English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 4 references I began babysitting at the age of 15.
