I believe in a "no" or limited TV philosophy. I prefer to fill children's day with activities and learning rather than TV entertainment. I also believe in the promotion of healthy snacks and meals as opposed to junk or fast food. I greatly encourage manners and discourage backtalk. I think it is very important to instill manners and respect and reinforce this with age appropriate actions and consequence. I communicate with children regaurding what the inappropriate action is, why it is unacceptable and what can be done instead. I am patient but firm in this area. I utilize a learn by play style of learning as well as using games and activities to tackle developmental milestones. I firmly believe in maintaining a child's self confidence and individuality when mastering new skills. My childcare style promotes healthy lifestyle habits through diet and activity as well as social respect, empathy and communication. I encourage individuality, self confidence, self esteem and safety while maintaining patient but firm guidance.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, German, Begining to learn Spanish    My Nationality: German  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Divorced  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Other        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 5 references 1993-1999 Occasional Babysitting 1997-1999 CVS Pharmacy in Hudson, Ohio; Shift Supervisor 1999-2000 Arabica Coffee Shop in Hudson, Ohio; store manager position 2000-2001 Distinctive Dollar Store in Streetsboro, Ohio; Assistant Store Manager and Store Manager. ###-###-####/2004 Kids Corner Daycare in Shaker Heights, Ohio; Childcare Provider and Preschool Teacher ###-###-#### Student ###-###-#### Student and Waitstaff in Raymond, Maine ###-###-#### Student and babysitter/ mothers helper/ house cleaner      Childcare experience within the following age groups: Newborn - 3 months, 3 - 12 months, 1 - 2 years, 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, twins, triplets   Education/Training: Graduated High School or Equivalent, College, CPR Training, Midwifery Certificate  1998 High School Diploma; Hudson High School in Hudson, Ohio 2002-2004 Kent State University; Sophmore level 2004-2007 Birthwise Midwifery School; Graduated on May 26, 2007 with a Midwifery Certificate      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Nanny/Housekeeper or Mother's Helper  Position Type: Live-Out, Full Time  Work Hours: 30 - 40 hours/week  Position Duration:    1 - 2 years   Childcare Duties:    Cooking      Light Housekeeping      Running errands      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      Planning activities for the children     Desired Start Date: June 14, 2007  Desired Salary: $1200 - $1400/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: No  Housekeeping Duties: None Provided
