Hi there, I'm Marlene, an active mother as well as a part time student working towards a nursing degree at COC. When your looking for an individual to care for your family, I know exactly the type of person your looking for...another you! You devote so much of yourself to your family, it just makes sense that another mother would best understand your cares and concerns and have the experience needed to provide the same level of excellent care you, yourself already do! I completely understand the importance of having patience and a nurturing attitude in respect to all those who are in my care regardless of age. Some of the qualities I possess that make me an excellent candidate are, experience, compassion, patience, education, creativity, structure and stability. Experience * I was a before/after school nanny with the same family for 2 years. * Worked as a "vacation nanny" Read more providing live in 24/7 care for extended periods of time while parent(s) were out of town. * Baby sitting- periodical, short term care. Both on site & in my home as needed. * Senior care- regularly scheduled personal care, household tasks, meals, Dr. visits, errands, grocery shopping, companion, etc. * House/pet sitting- cared for property & fuzzy friends as per owner instruction. Special Stuff * Homework help! Oh! and did I mention that as a college student, I'm willing and able to provide homework assistance! * I enjoy reading to others as well as being read to! I can even bring books with me! * I've been "told" by my younger charges that I have a unique flair for dress up and make an excellent guest at tea parties! * I really enjoy and am very adept at a WIDE variety of crafts and activities! Play doe on up! If I don't already know it, introduce me to it as I'm a fast learner. * I've previously had training in CPR, first aid, water safety & infant care. Although none of my certs. are current, I'd like to believe the knowledge still persists! Upon request, I'm willing to get recertified. In short, let me provide the most important people in your life, the level of care, compassion and respect that you already do. I do not now nor have I ever used any drugs and use alcohol only socially.
