I have enjoyed being a nanny and babysitter for children infant-twelve years old. I love children and enjoy caring for them. As a nanny in prior jobs, I cared for a child 6 months-3.5 years old. I provided all aspects of childcare including meal preparation, transportation, light housekeeping, outings, laundry, shopping and errands. I also assisted with household management, pet care and party preparations. Providing care during travel was enjoyable. I also cared for children 2, 4, and 7 years old. Responsibilities included meal and snack preparation, light housekeeping, homework help, and date night care. My work as a babysitter have been throughout my life. My first job was when I was 13, when I cared for three young children. I cared for children in my home and theirs. As a former elementary school teacher, I was certified for thirty-five years and achieved Highly Qualified teacher Status. It was a Read more pleasure to teach preschool through grade six, be school librarian and teach children with special needs. My work in summer school and after school programs included planning field trips and swimming. I also taught Christian school and Sunday school. My education and experience have strengthened my knowledge of child growth and development. I enjoy meeting the needs and interests of the child with fun adventures and enriching, engaging educational and play activities that strengthen confidence, independence, boost self-esteem and help the child reach his/her potential. My focus is on varied experiences that support cognitive, emotional, social and physical growth and development. I strive to encourage the excitement of learning, a love of reading and being kind, polite, respectful and caring. I am cheerful, positive, energetic, fun loving and have a good sense of humor. My strengths include being nurturing, patient, kind and creative. I have strong work ethics that include being flexible, reliable, hardworking and trustworthy. My experience helped me develop strong communication, organizational and professional skills. I enjoy working closely with parents and being a team member. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have a valid driver's license and passport. I am a non-smoker, have a perfect driving record, enjoy pets and love dogs. I enjoy nature, outdoor activities, playing ukulele, reading, arts & crafts, baking, travel and learning new things.
