I am also very attentative to making sure they do their necessary daily chores as well. While doing all of these things I like to make sure children challenge their own minds. I have always loved working with children and attending to all of their needs. I feel that my style is very educational and organized, but at the same time I love teaching children to use their imaginations. Sitting in front of the television doesn't teach much. I enjoy doing crafts, visiting educational places as well as playing games that might challenge their minds. I am also willing to follow how the parents feel their children should be raised.      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, Some Sign Language    My Nationality: Other  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 4 references At the age of 12 I began babysitting to gain part time income to help my family. Since then I have been a nanny for several families which has given me great interest in making the care for children my career. I enjoy caring for children and also teaching them day to day responsiblity at the same time allowing them to be a child. Being the eldest of 5 children in my own family, one who has downs syndrome has given me so much experience. After my last nanny job I thought that being in the corporate world would allow me the option to meet other adults and possibly someone that I could share my life with. During that time I have found my husband and we recently re-located from Pittsburgh to the New Jersey/New York City area. I am now interested in working with children again.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children, twins, triplets   Education/Training: College, First Aid Training, Child Care training courses  After completing high school I continued off to college. Realizing that I needed to broaden my horizons I decided to go to cosmetology school to get my degree in Professional Makeup and Skin Care Esthetics. After completing this goal I went back to college. Unfortuately since moving to this area I had to drop the courses I was taking in order to make the move here for my husband. Since being in the area I began working for the same company and now feel that it's time for me to work in a job that I enjoy.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Babysitter  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time, Part Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    As Long as Needed   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      Preparing meals      Transporting children      Children's Laundry      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      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: June 10, 2007  Desired Salary: Negotiable salary  Will work with up to: Four or more  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Supervise contractors and tradespersons      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization
