I am seeking a position in house management/ childcare which I have over twenty years of experience. I am a fun, reliable, highly responsible, efficient and creative mother of two children of my own, both successfully on their own now. I have worked as a nanny/house manager for private families, in-group childcare settings as well as an overnight baby nurse. Being a nanny/ mouse manager is my chosen profession and I love my career. I am extremely knowledgeable in all the different developmental transitions and know what to expect. That being said, I have learnt that each child handles transitions differently and I am able to respond appropriately in all circumstances. The main quality I have, in addition to knowledge and common sense is patience and love to help each child transition smoothly. I really enjoy being a part of a child's life. Watching them grow and playing a part Read more in their development is awesome and exciting to me! I am a very efficient house manager able to multitask and keep even the busiest of homes running stocked and efficiently. I am CPR and Heart Saver certified by the American Red Cross. I am certified by both the Westchester and Dutchess County Child Care Councils. My background check is available for your review. Although the children will always come first, I have no problem doing housework, laundry or taking care of pets. I am a college graduate and commuted and worked in New York City for over ten years. When I had my children, I decided to work in childcare. My real passion is being a nanny/ house manager. My extensive resume and numerous references are available upon request.
