My husband and I recently moved from Flagstaff, AZ to Colorado Springs where he is attending the New Life School of Worship. He and I both have a passion for Jesus and for worship leading and, combined, we have about 15 years experience. I attended college for three years in Flagstaff, and my degree was in education, although I did not complete it. I have been CPR certified, and though I do not have my certification now, I could easily do so again. I love a clean and tidy home; I worked three years in a cleaning business and I truly enjoyed it very much, even to the point that I have thought to start my own business. I love encouraging others, being a team player, and I truly enjoy being with children, although I have never worked full time with them. I am a super crafty person, although I am not highly creative myself; I love knitting, crocheting, quilting, embroidery, scrap booking, and so much more. I love music, and played the flute for about 5 years up through the end of my middle school education and I was very dedicated to it. I also love being a helper in any way I can to build people up; I did spend time in my first year of college tutoring children, and it was a blessing to me to be patient and to watch them learn.      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, Some spanish    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Married  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   0 years experience, 1 references I have done some babysitting and tutoring in the past five years, but although I may not have a lot of experience, I have a willing heart and I would love to be given the opportunity. I love children and look forward to having my own, but until then it would be a wonderful opportunity to be involved in the growth and learning of young people.      Childcare experience within the following age groups:   Education/Training: College, CPR Training, Need CPR Renewal  I attended Northern Arizona University for 3 years. Two of my years there were spent in their education program. My third year I started taking classes that were more directed towards the health field. I married my husband at the end of my third year of school, and decided that I would wait to complete my schooling as I was very undecided about which field I truly desired to work in. Both education and the health field deeply merited my interest, but I was unsure which field I wanted to work in professionally.      Job Preferences   Seeking work as a : 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      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     Desired Start Date: October 04, 2012  Desired Salary: $12/Hour  Will work with up to: Three children  Will travel with the family: No  Will care  Special Needs Children: Yes  Housekeeping Duties:    Keep a grocery list      Initial preparation of family's dinner as directed      Full meal preparation and service      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)      Family laundry      Family sheets/towels and other linens      Grocery shopping regularly as directed      Dust/Vacuum entire house, minumum weekly frequency      Sweep kitchen floor daily      Mop Kitchen floor weekly, minumum weekly frequency      Run/Empty dishwasher daily      Empty kitchen trash as required      Errands, including dry cleaning, as directed      Maintain household accounts/ pay bills         References   Trudy Serrano  Trudy is the owner of the cleaning company that I worked for for three years.
