I am currently a Nanny/Tutor and Housekeeper for a fast-paced Buffalo family and will be moving to Astoria on September first. I have been at this job for just over a year and my duties include picking a teenager up from school, helping with homework (I helped prepare her for two regents exams this year as well as her normal heavy course load), making and keeping appointments with doctors, preparing engaging and constructive activities for days off, cooking dinner for the family, laundry, cleaning the house, any errands needed and mentoring a teenage girl. My favorite part about the tutoring aspect is learning how she retains information and tailoring my tutoring to suit her. My favorite part of the job overall is coming up with activities she will enjoy when she has free time. The most successful so far have been going to parks and watercolor painting. I really enjoy my job and would be ecstatic to find a family with a child or children I could get to know. I enjoy exercise of all kinds (jogging, cycling, swimming, ultimate Frisbee), reading, writing, acting, learning about history, working with children, cooking (I enjoy cooking healthy yet delicious meals for kids and adults alike), and music. I am originally from East Aurora, NY, which is a small town just South of Buffalo. I have strong family values and my parents always taught me to be responsible, respect others, be compassionate and be myself. They are very supportive and we have a great relationship. I went to SUNY Fredonia and graduated in 2010 with a BFA in Acting and an English Minor. Since graduating, I have worked as an actress, in retail and as a nanny/tutor/housekeeper in my current position. I love working with kids because you can see the progress you make so clearly. When a child demonstrates that they understand a lesson I have been working on with them, it is one of the most fulfilling feelings I have felt. My favorite subjects are English (more specifically Literature) and History. I am looking for a part-time or full-time live-out nanny and/or tutor position.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references I have worked for a fast-paced, high powered Buffalo family for over a year caring for and tutoring their teenage daughter.
