Elizabeth P. Nanny in Saint Paul, MN 55108. Looking for work as a live out nanny.

After a 15-year career in cosmetics management, I made the big change to doing what I truly love. I am 39 years old, with my spouse for 13 years and not able to have children. I’ve been a professional childcare provider for over a year now, and between my weekday job nannying for a family with children aged 5/3/6mos. and my 'date night' jobs with various families on nights and weekends, I have never been happier in my life!

I have taken the certification classes for childcare licensure and in preparation for opening our home to children in the foster care system, so I am freshly certified in First Aid, Infant/Child CPR, and Shaken Baby Syndrome; I have had a three-hour training on carseat use and general safety practices for driving with children in the car and I have a perfect driving record. I am a member of the International Nanny Association, and utilize their recommended practices. I can be found in their online member directory at <WEBSITE>

I am a volunteer for Free Arts Minnesota; I have been on a team working with the southeast asian preschool program at The Family Partnership in Minneapolis, and currently I am on a team holding a weekly art class at the Children's Residential Treatment Center in Minneapolis, which is a closed psychiatric ward for adolescents. I have passed Free Arts Minnesota's criminal background check. I have excellent references from current clients who found me through SitterCity.

To sum up what to expect from me-- I am the oldest of five, and my four siblings are all much younger, so I was pretty much a live-in nanny during my adolescence and remained their caregiver much of the time into my twenties. Because of this, I care for children with a loving, responsible older-sister vibe. I genuinely love to hang out with children and listen to them, be silly, read books, sing, play catch and soccer outside, go for walks or to the park, have dance parties, draw pictures, and-- most popular --allow them to hurl themselves at me, chase me, crawl all over me, and fall on the floor giggling :)

I believe that my role as a nanny or babysitter is maintaining diligent watch over the children to ensure their personal safety and comfort, interacting with children in a way that creates a positive association with learning and looking for every opportunity to encourage learning and development, and supporting the family by assisting with toy organization, the kitchen and the laundry.
