I have loved children ever since I was able to babysit and have enjoyed it for the past 10 years. It doesn't seem that long, but all those years were worth it. I have met so many amazing children in those years, that have impacted my life as well as myself impacting theirs. I have been a nanny for almost 3 years (October 24th) for the same family and I love the family deeply and feel like part of it. I can't wait to find another great family to work for and become part of, and also help teach your children and make them into the great children they are. Loving, but structured and disciplined. I know children need boundries and I will enforce the rules that the parents have set forth. I am not afraid to be the bad guy if it is necessary. I also know that children need a routine, so I try my hardest to stick to the routine that the parents have set forth as well. I like to enforce manners and good behavior and have many ways to do this. I also do my best to teach children responsibility by cleaning up after themselves, if there are pets to help feed and treat them nicely. I enjoy reading to the children, listening to music and dancing around and having fun, playing whatever games they would like to play. If you have other questions, just ask and I'd love to answer.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: Other  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Jewish        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 1 references I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, I am now 22 (23 as of June 13th). I have worked in a Jewish Sunday School as a teacher's aid and a one on one aid for a special needs child. I have worked in a daycare with ages from newborn to 5. I have also worked at a Jewish camp in California and have worked with ages 7-14. I am currently a nanny for a family with 2 children 2. 5 and 4 (5 as of June 13th). I have been with this family since before the 2. 5 year old was born. I am very much so consistant when it comes to discipline. I know kids will be kids, but manners are very important to me. I have a hard time when kids get what they want when they want, even if they have been misbehaving. I don't understand what some parents think they are teaching their children. I get attached to the kids I work with and treat them like I would my own, when I have them, that is. I am very affectionate and caring as well. I love when the children won't let me leave without giving and receiving hugs and kisses, it makes me happy and makes me feel like I am making an impact on a child's life. I also like to read and sing and play a numerous amount of games with the children as well. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I am a very open person.
