  About Me
 
I am organized, reliable, and patient. I love to take each new day and make it something special. I believe it is important to fill our time with fun, learning, and new experiences. With my free time I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, entertaining, and cooking. I love children and all they offer with their inquisitive minds and excited hearts. I have had a deep passion for children ever since I was very young. I enjoy working with babies through elementary age children. Summer is the best time to nanny since the children are fresh and excited for a new season. I enjoy being proactive and going places, planning activities, teaching Sign Language, and even working on educational things (math pages, reading, etc). I believe it is important for children to have structure in a day filled with lots of fun and learning. I am stern with rules the parents set up but also loving, kind, and patient.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
4 years experience, 5 references
I started babysitting when I was ten for families from church and my neighborhood. When I graduated high school I worked as a nanny before I moved to college. While in college I worked a few different nanny jobs of which I got much experience. My first job was for three children which included a two-year old toddler and his twin 3 month old siblings. The next position was also for three children with the ages of 11, 9, and 5. The last few months of college I worked with a one-year old toddler who had developmental delays (Kabuki Syndrome). This was a great challenge as I had to teach her how to sit, pull herself up, stand, walk, and also fine motor skill development. My last nanny job was last summer in which I watched a six month old premature baby forty hours a week.

 
 
 
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:
Bachelor's Degree, CPR Training 
I attended a school in Central California and graduated with my degree in Communicative Disorders (Interpreting for the Deaf) last Spring. Instead of interpreting this year I accepted a job as a Teacher's Aide and Substitute which I LOVE. I work with one kingergarten class for 4 hours every day and then two third grade classes every afternoon. If I am substituting I work with a variety of ages from kindergarten through high school. I am currently awaiting a teaching position at a private school for next fall which is why I can only commit to a summer position at this time.
