Hi, I am a Nanny with 37 years experience. Since I have so many years of experience I created a website to give parents an overview of all of my qualifications. I find that it helps to give the parents a chance to review everything and then set up an interview to meet in person. http://careoncall.webs.com/ I am 50 and the wife/mother of three children. Married to J (23 years) They are G 18, S 15 and N 10 so I bring personal experience of all the different ages. My current part time job (Since June 2013) for Mrs. C will be ending in August. J is 6 and S is 4. Mrs. C is due April 28th and needs full time care beginning in August. She is not able to afford my hourly rate for full time care. My other part time job (Since June 2011) is for Mrs Read more S. N is 6 and B is 2. I help their family once in awhile. Currently on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month. Mrs C and Mrs S would love to be a reference if you have any question's. Ideally I am looking for a family who needs part time care on M, T, W and/or Th. I am okay with helping more than one family. I have a flexible schedule. I am not available on Friday as I am the Lead Caregiver at Morning Star MOPPETs (Since 2010) during the school year. Every Friday from 9 am to 12 pm. Why I am a Nanny? It is a fun exciting career. I love to help children learn new things. It is like being a teacher with only a few students. I love that I am able to be a team player and help parents. My ABC’s of child rearing : age appropriate activities, believe in all of their dreams, caring, creative, dependable, disciplined, every day teachable moments, fun, generous with praise, helpful, joyful, kind, listener, no negative comments, organized, patience, respect, reliable, responsible, trust worthy, understanding, just to name a few. What will children be doing on any given day? stories, puzzles, free play, games, art's and crafts, coloring, educational videos, minimal amount of t.v and nap time if age appropriate. Take my cues from the children and see what they enjoy doing. If you would like to do a meet and greet please send a message to: careoncall@live.com Thank you, Karen Hoffman 314-539-1962
