Child care is my passion. Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world, the smiles; the hugs; the blueberry stained t-shirts and rice all over the floor (because you can always clean up a mess afterward, but they won't always be so enthralled by the simple game of scooping up rice with a spoon as a shovel); the tears and tantrums that come as part of the territory; watching the 4-year-old who I taught to write his letters use his new skills to write my name on a piece of paper and give it to me as a gift or watching an infant discover life's wonders for the first time. It is the most challenging and most rewarding job I've ever had. I have a beautiful baby girl (3 months old) of my own who has already taught me so many things, challenged what I thought I knew, and opened up an entirely new world to me. When I met her dad, I was also lucky enough to gain an awesome, smart, sassy 6-year-old stepdaughter, who spends summers with us. We have a very flexible schedule and there will always be someone to watch our daughter while I'm on the job. Prior to becoming a mom myself, I was a nanny or babysat for little ones ages newborn - 7 years old for 13 years. I would love to find a regular sitting or nanny position where I can get to know the family and children and build a relationship with them, but I'm open to occasional work as well. I also speak Spanish and Portuguese!
