MY CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE: I was a nanny for 4 years to twins! That is my biggest accomplishment so far! HA! I loved playing with them and teaching them new things. I was also a nanny to a little boy for 9 months, his parents were pilots, so the schedule was always changing.I am very flexible with a schedule. During my extended time with the twins and the little boy, I taught them simple sign language starting with the twins around 6 months of age and the little boy around the age of 14 months. The children learned the sign language quickly and was using it frequently. I have also been employed by people that work for the government and that are in the entertainment business. I have been a nanny for 7 years and I plan to make this my career. I absolutely love being a nanny! If you are Read more looking for someone to go with you to watch your child(ren) for vacations/weddings any kind of functions, even if I am not in your town, I can do that. I have done this many of times. I can explain in detail what this means if you call. I am very experienced in my career choice and take deep pride in everything I do. WHY A NANNY? I love children and teaching them new things. When I was younger I always wanted to be a babysitter because it seemed like a fun and interesting job to have. I was right! I love playing and teaching children new things! I guess you can say I have a passion for the job. Children just amaze me with the ideas they come up with. MY CHILDHOOD: My parents divorced when i was 5. My grandparents helped raise my brother and myself. Even though my parents divorced when I was young, I had a full and exciting childhood. HOBBIES: swimming, reading(you can never learn enough!), listening to music(from classical to rock), going to parks, museums, the zoo, cooking and photography. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Hi there! Here is a little about myself: I am 24, outgoing, nurturing and encouraging person1. I like to go to parks, museums and the zoo.I also enjoy reading, listening to music(classical to rock), swimming, cooking and photography.I want to become 'part of the family' insead of just hired help. I want to know everyone who is important in the life of the child(ren). I provide a fun,safe and loving environment for child(ren). I obey all rules set by the parents. I am a very patient and friendly person, however I can be authoritive if needed. Communication is a big factor with children, you have to talk to them on their level. Sometimes the parents too! lol Please don't be offended! Additional Notes I am a loving, fun and nurturing person. I like the outdoors(except mosquitos). I have a HUGE heart. I am very caring,understanding and responsible. I am also trustworthy and dependable. I think I have a non-threatening,pleasant demeanor and playful attitude children can relate to. I think a nanny should be able to give support and guidance when needed and should enourage the child to explore and create new things and ideas.A nanny should also be someone who the family can trust and feel at ease with.
