At the age of of fifteen, I started looking after neighborhood children after school. At the age of sixteen, I basically became a live in nanny and assumed all the roles of the household besides going grocery shopping. I fell in love with the girls and was like a mother figure to them. When I turned seventeen, a friend of the family that I worked for asked if I would mind looking after their grandchildren in the summer. I agreed and the routine would be looking after two girls children in the winter and four in the summer. The kids and I would go swimming, play various board games, ride bikes, do projects (arts and crafts), etc. These children meant the world to me and on one hand you love to see them grow up but on the other hand you know eventually they will no longer need you. I still visit two of the children to see how they are doing. I am very passionate about working with children and put my whole heart and full focus into making sure the children are having fun but understand the rules of the household. I am very creative and know how to keep children entertained and away from the tv.       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: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 3 references I have experience with children ages one to seventeen.
