For those who are not familiar, that always included lots of family gatherings, cooking all the time, and being very clean and tidy. It also included lots of conversation and warmth and love. I am a very warm person who is fun, easy-going, smart and quick to learn and adores children and watching and helping them to learn and grow. I have been watching children my entire life, as my mother ran a large daycare in our home for the entirety of my life. I would bring a wealth of activities to this job. Outdoor activities like hiking, walks, park time, etc and also other activities like arts, crafts, library and books, play dates, learning, etc. Children have always been drawn to my warm and caring nature. I believe in setting limits for children but helping them to understand why those limits are set. I do not believe in physical discipline. I do believe that awards and losses could work in a situation where a child may have difficulty understanding limits.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Smoker but will abstain when with children  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Italian  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Roman Catholic        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references I am a 100% Italian woman who was raised in a household that operated as a daycare for the entirety of my life.
