Katie B.     Age 40      Female      Boise, ID  - 2150 S Buck Pass Ave   Member ID: 873  Seeking work as a : Nanny or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-In or Live-Out, Full Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   I am loving, caring, responsible, dependable, giving, and reliable. I love being a nanny because children make me laugh and I love beening a part of helping someone to grow and advance ( I love the toddler stage because they learn SO much and change right in front of your eyes). It is important to me that the parent(s) be involved in their children's lives. I am not there to raise their children, but to help when they cannot be there themselves, or are there but need extra hands. I do not let children walk all over me. If they do something wrong, they need to be punished with a time-out. For younger children, they of course need to be taught it is wrong. I am not what you might consider strict though. It is very important that the caregiver and parents be on the same page as far as discipline (and many other things as well). I feel children need to be in a place where they feel loved and encouraged.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English, small about of baby sign    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 4 references I have worked as a nanny for the past 2 1/2 yrs for the same family.
