I am college educated, responsible, compassionate, energetic, and I¡¦d say, fairly organized. I am a non-smoker. I love to have fun and appreciate the gift of life everyday. In my free time, I enjoy attending worship services at church, fellowshipping with my friends after church, cooking, being outside, reading, Internet research, and going out to watch a good movie. I adore children and enjoy taking care of them. I know it¡¦s important to parents to know that their children are receiving lots of attention and love when they¡¦re not able to be at home with them. I am the kind of nanny who loves to interact with children. I have a special gift for taking care of children and being compassionate toward them. I believe a nanny should be like an extension of a child¡¦s parents. So I see myself as a mommy's or a daddy's helper. Your kids will be enriched by doing various activities, playing, crafts, songs, walks and many more. In my other nanny positions, when parents are absent, I have stayed with the children until they have fallen asleep; I have read to them, sang to them, and prayed with them. Soon after I become nanny to your children, I become attached to them and they essentially become mine. Consequently, I see them not just as my responsibility, but as my own. I am reliable and I know I can be an exciting addition to your family.       Valid Driver's License: No  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: No  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: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 3 references I have worked with children of different ages ¡V from three months to 12 years old.
