I absolutely love children of all ages and have half of my lifetime of experience working with and around them. At the age of 15 I began working with small children with special needs enrolled in a therapeutic riding program with horses, my other love. I enjoy being apart of their life, and watching them grow. I have been sole caretaker for children at women Bible studies, yoga classes, as well as children of close friends and family. As we all know children can be exhausting and challenging at times, but after 4 years of babysitting a family of 7 kids, no task is too great for me to handle. With my experience and education comes patience, gentleness, safety, nurturing, happiness, health, and as much as I can provide for any child, any age.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, Sign Language    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 0 references Child Supervisor for women Bible Studies Therapeutic Riding Programs for Children and Adults Family and Friends Babysitting night and day Sitter for a family with 7 kids ages 1-15      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   Education/Training: Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, Associates Degree, Bachelor's Degree, First Aid Training  B.
