I believe in doing things in an orderly fashion and I multitask quite well. However, life happens and reorganization of priorities may need to occur from time to time. I enjoy life's special moments and like experiencing them with children because of their unique perspective. In addition to my experience of thirteen plus years, I assisted in raising my two godchildren, now 14 and 11. I chose to do so in order to incorporate stability in to their little lives and it worked. I believe that is determined on the age of the child, hence age appropriate activities, discipline, expectations, etc. My rule of thumb is first discipline, obedience and structure, second having fun of course, after all they are only children once, but above ALL is LOVE.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English, Spanish    My Nationality: Other  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 5 references       Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children, twins, triplets   Education/Training: Associates Degree, Bachelor's Degree, College Child Education Courses, First Aid Training, CPR Training  I have over 13 years of experience caring for children, varying from infants to adolescents, along with twins and triplets.
