Children have this innocent vibe about them. Their imaginations and wonders of this world is amazing. And of course I love all the sweet hugs & beautiful smiles. I am extremely flexible. I have worked on and off as a live-in nanny for almost 4 years now. I have worked at a couple day cares, but I believe you should do one on one work with children not twenty on one. I love working with children and learning about their developmental stages. I have worked with children who have disabilities, mostly autistic children. My patience with kids is amazing. I do not mind caring for children with disabilities.      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   5 years experience, 3 references Certified nanny looking for full-time employment in or around the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
