We are all extremely close and love going out and doing things together as a family. Because of this experience, I have always wanted to develop this same type of closeness with others. I have been involved in camps and mentoring programs in several different capacities for the last seven years, as well as taking on the role of part-time nanny in college. It has been a blessing to me to get to know other families and meet and interact with them. My hope now is that I can take these past experience and skills that I have attained, both academically and vocationally, and use them for the betterment of another family.      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: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   6 years experience, 3 references I am a previously experienced and trusted child care provider who, for the last seven years, has worked in all levels of youth camp and youth mentoring organizations (from counselor all the way up to director), as well as part-time nannying and assisting a family in the past. I love to empower the children I am with as I feel that enables them to grow the most. I give them responsibility and enable them to grow through that. If we are playing a game I will let a child explain the game to everyone and organize teams, so that they will learn these positive leadership principles at a young age. I also love doing very upbeat, active games and activities with the children. It is hard for me to stay in front of a television with a child when I can take them outside and play a game or go to the park with them. I also believe that getting children moving and active is key in their development as they grow and mature. As a former collegiate athlete myself, I can attest to the fact that a positive athletic role model in one's life can do wonders for a child's growth in their maturity and responsibility.      Childcare experience within the following age groups: 2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, special needs children, twins, triplets   Education/Training: High School, College, Bachelor's Degree  I have my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with emphasis in Youth Ministry from Indiana Wesleyan University,      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : Nanny or Tutor  Position Type: Live-In, Full Time  Work Hours: 40 - 50 hours/week  Position Duration:    1 - 2 years      greater than 2 years      As Long as Needed   Childcare Duties:    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      Mending Children's clothing as required      Planning activities for the children   Anything Child Related   Desired Start Date: September 27, 2012  Desired Salary: $2600 - $2800/month  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: Yes  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Keep the kitchen tidy during work hours      Greeting/serving household guests      Feed pets during work day as directed      Walk dog and/or pet care      Plant care (indoor)      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills      Book household travel arrangements      Supervise other household staff      Event and entertainment planning and organization       Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences: I am very well-trained on how to connect and work with children of all educational and learning styles as they tend to vary based on parental preference and age of the child.
