I have a very happy personality and usually smile a lot. I work well with others, especially people who are older than me. I have a love for children and my goal is to one day have my own in-home daycare, and eventually open up my own facility. For now I am just trying to find a job so I can continue the schooling I need to get there. I am very organized and goal oriented. I pay very close attention to detail and I make sure my task is done for the day before I am ready to leave. I am eager and willing to please my bosses and I work well under pressure. I am not a procrastinator, although sometimes it may seem so. I believe everything happens for a reason, but it will not happen unless there is a will and a want for it. I am a fun friend to the kids, and know when to say no and to say Okay.. I don't like disciplining, but will do if necessary. I like to go outside and go for walks and play at parks, but also enjoy a good afternoon watching movies or educational programs.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Smoker but will abstain when with children  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English, Spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   4 years experience, 2 references -- Zoey Lyski Title: Part-time Babysitter/nanny Employed from 4/2007 to 6/2007 Reason for Leaving: They're moving and don't need me anymore -- Debby Finn Title: Part-time Babysitter/nanny Employed from 1/2007 to current Reason for Leaving: Non-payment -- Ginger Allen Title: Part-time Babysitter/nanny Employed from 1/2007 to 2/2007 Reason for Leaving: she became a stay at home mom -- Robin Hurtado Title: Full-Time Babysitter/nanny Employed from 6/2006 to 12/2006 Reason for Leaving: Personal matters, I will explain in person. -- My Kids Clubhouse Inc. 12636 Poway Road Suite 4 Poway, CA 92064 Supervisor: Stephanie Antin Phone: (###-###-#### Title: Front Desk/snack server Employed From 5/2006 to 6/1/2006 Duties: Log guests into the computer, greet customers, serve snacks, occasional childcare, clean after the children, set up and take down rooms for parties, accepted payments, ran cash register, saw off customers, answered phones, gave directions.
