Hi! I have worked as an early childhood teacher and a nanny for a combined total of 8 years, and I love working with children of all ages. The greatest part of this work is helping children discover and explore their interests through creative and activtive projects and activities. I'm a naturally calm person and believe children deserve to be respected and shown patience during every developmental stage. About myself, I am a big fan of outdoor activities including swimming and hiking. Jewelry and bead making are also hobbies of mine. I have a basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese (I lived in China for 2 years) and am always happy to pass on some new language to children. If your family needs, I am happy to help with housekeeping and laundry as well as light cooking. Driving children is no problem as my past nanny positions required this and I'm Read more totally comfortable and safe about it. My MV and criminal background is 100% clear - rest assured! Thanks for considering me.
