My name is Marcela, I'm twenty five years old. I have a high school degree. I come from a very big family!! My mom was one of fifteen and I am one of seven siblings. I started watching children at the age of 10. My aunt would let me watch my cousins for a few hours each day a couple days a week while she was in the house. At the age of 13 I got my first big girl babysitting job. I was fortunate to grow with the lovely family of Dr. Elizabeth Gaby for 8 years. Since then I have had two long term nanny positions. One for Neil Castaldo, a very successful lawyer, for 2-3 years. The other position was working David Vicinanzos' family, who has also been a very a very successful lawyer for 7 years. For the families, I was a nanny, housekeeper, and regularly Read more cooked for them.... All in one package:) I love children of all ages....more than one child is great, but one or more chid is great as well. I have cared from 1 to 8 children at once, and am comfortable doing so. I enjoy growing with families.....I'm also very dedicated to providing world class service to all families, as I enjoy getting to know them as well. I am trained in CPR and Montessori for ages 0-6 months and 6-9 yrs. I have also taught CCD ( Sunday school) for children in second grade. I am an outdoor person and love playing sports, board games, and doing crafts. I am also an animal lover! ( any animal except snakes and mice......yuk ;) ). I am also experienced in housekeeping. I have worked at St. John's and Sacred heart (both churches in New Hampshire) and also have worked cleaning, detailing, sanitizing, and organizing individual homes. All my previous positions will give excellent references as I grew to love each individual family and still stay in contact with them all. If your looking for a fun energetic nanny who is dependable, trustworthy, punctual, and willing to go the extra mile; I am all of the above. I like to do activities that stimulate childrens minds as well as playing outside to get the kiddo's a away from the t.v. (Depending on the parents wishes of course). I anxiously await a family that would consider letting me get to know and grow with them. Thank you for reading the short audio biography. I just feel it's important to thoroughly share my experience, skills, and personal information. It is a huge step for a family bringing someone into their home.
