Germelina G.     Age 68      Female      Pasadena  - Burke Rd   Member ID: 4817  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I was born and raised in the Philippines. I studied and finished my Bachelor’s Degree in English in my country and worked there for a couple of years mostly in the administrative level. I am married with two grown up children who are in college. I came to the United States and settled in the city of Houston and recently in Pasadena. I obtained my two Associates degrees in Health Information Technology and Teaching-Early Childhood Education. I also obtained pre-training Teachers Certification in Special Education. I obtained a good training in the proper care of younger children at the children center where I have worked as teacher's aide for three years. I had my longest assignment in the infants and toddlers classrooms which I truly enjoyed. After my three years stayed at the children center, I have decided to enhance my experience by working as babysitter/nanny with private families. I have had worked with four families already but unfortunately for a short period of time since these are their preferences. I loved small kids and enjoyed them a lot. I applied all the things that I have learned from the workshops that I participated in at the children center which made my work relationship(s) with the child and the parents very effective. I always discussed to families the things that I can do and what I think is applicable to help them raise their child. I love indoor and outdoor activities and always see to it the age appropriate toys/activities that I can give/offer to the child. I do assist in the other needs of the family like laundry of the child's clothes and the cleaning/disinfecting of the toys and other things that the child is using. I love reading books for kids and I do sing and teach nursery rhymes at an early age of a child. I follow the scheduled feeding time and nap time and prefer to have a log book for the parents to check for their child's daily activities. I am open to any suggestions and added activities that the parents would prefer. I am fortunate to have experience working with younger children and share my love and care to them. The thing that you can also count on me is I am flexible and willing to challenge myself with the best of my ability.
