Sarah P.     Age 35      Female      Chicago  - 5200 N. Wayne Ave. #3s   Member ID: 7457  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Tutor or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am from Texas, went to college in Oklahoma, and moved to Chicago last March. I am a baseball fan and a filmmaker. I love cooking, reading and am enjoying learning about my new city of Chicago. I have experience working with kids, including teaching film camps through my college, local children's theater, and after school at local elementary schools, coordinating and leading afternoon activities, field trips, and workshops at Project Transformation (summer literacy program with Americore), working in a church nursery during college, coached at summer softball and soccer camps through my high school, and grew up babysitting for multiple families from my parent's church. Not to mention, I have friends who have kids now and a nephew. I love hanging out with them, but they all live in Texas and Oklahoma. I would love the chance to nanny full time in Chicago. It would be a great time to help out parents in need while learning about my new city with kids full of just as much wonder. Feel free to contact me via phone or email about helping you to make sure your children are taken care of.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  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: Methodist        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 3 references Putnam Heights Elementary School Outreach Film Instructor, Fall 2008, Spring 2009, Fall 2009, Spring 2010 Oklahoma Children’s Theatre Film Instructor, Summer 2009-Summer 2011 Americore: Project Transformation Reading Instructor and Afternoon Activities Coordinator, Summer 2009 Nichols Hills UMC, OKC Nursery Employee, August 2008-May 2009 Nimitz High School Summer Softball Camp, Summer 2004-Summer 2007 Peer Tutoring: 2003-2004 Babysat regularly in High School: Gus: toddler with down syndrome Cassie and James: home schooled older sister, younger brother Taylor and Trent: older sister, younger brother, our moms were in bible study together       Childcare experience within the following age groups: 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children   Education/Training: High School, Bachelor's Degree  BFA Film Production Oklahoma City University May 2011 3. 75 GPA      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter or Tutor or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 20 - 30 hours/week  Position Duration:    3 - 12 months      Occasional/As Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      Limited/light housekeeping      Occasional supervision of childrens friends/guests      Ironing children's clothing as needed      Children's baths and dressing      Help with homework      Adhere to special dietary rules (vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, etc.)      Packing Children's lunches      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: August 25, 2012  Desired Salary: $20/Hour  Will work with up to: Two children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required       Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences: Will need to pay for their children's activities and for my admittance if I take them on field trips.        References   Lyn Adams  I worked for Lyn at the Oklahoma Children's Theatre throughout college.
