I have currently been in the nannying world for about 6 years. It has become more of a blessing in disguise for me. Working with different families has opened up a career choice that I did not realize I would become so passionate about. I have done many babysitting jobs in the past. However, I have come to understand that being a nanny vs. an on call babysitter are completely different. As a nanny, I have had the opportunity to assist parents in raising a person who will become the most important thing in their life. I have the opportunity to understand the different needs for each child. To create a lasting bond with a special person who I will never forget. I am someone who will work along with the parents to ensure the safety, education and creativity of their little one. I currently have experience working with: infants, Read more toddlers, twins, younger school age children, and children with special needs. A few of my current duties are: driving to scheduled activities, assisting with homework, distributing medication, planning out eventful and educational activity's, food preparation and more. I am currently looking for a full-time position. I hope to find a family that has similar idea's as myself in raising children. I believe the relationship between nannies and families are extremely important. This way we can insure your little ones has consistency in their upbringing. *references provided upon request
