Find experienced nannies in Rocheport, MO

Hi Parents!   My name is Katie, At the end of June I had to say goodbye to the most wonderful family, and precious little boy, as he enrolled in pre-school full time. Therefore, after three years I am back on the market. At this exact moment I am more interested in short term opportunites, and babysitting, but that could very well change in the next few weeks. My previous exprerience includes four different families. In 2008 I was a temporary nanny/ regular babysitter for a high energy family in Columbia, MO before they moved back to Virginia. At the same time I  worked as a nanny for a wonderful family with two little girls. Over the 14 months I worked at their home, I had the enormous pleasure of watching these beautiful ladies grow and learn so much, but I had to make the painful decision to leave for St. Louis to pursue my acting career. While I was far too busy working to get any acting done over the course of our year in St. Louis, I enjoyed my time in the city. But a change of job for my boyfriend, and my bosses' move to Minnesota called us back to Columbia in 2010. For the past three years I have worked here in town with a great family and had the pleasure of working with their "baby" boy, and have helped him grow from a tiny two month old to a precocious, chatty, and energetic three year old.   My background starts in Cabot, AR where I was raised and worked as a babysitter and church nursery worker in High School. Upon graduation, I enrolled at Stephens College, in Columbia, MO, graduating with a BFA in Theatre Arts-- in just three years and two summers! While in the theatre program timeliness, organization, and dependability were strongly emphasized, and since graduation I feel like I've taken a lot of that with me.   As for personal intrest: I am an energetic, outgoing, and caring individual. I love kids and hope to have my own one day! I don't smoke, love cats and dogs, and have a flexible schedule. My child care philosophy is a heathy mix of traditonal and new age ideology. I believe time outs are a genereally appropriate form of dicipline, but find I rarely need them. I am very good at sensing the warning signs of tantrums and tend to defuse the situation before it gets to that point. But I also believe that children need consistant structure and love from their adults not simply another playmate that they can boss around. I have worked closely with children agedall the way from 2 months to 6 years, and have potty trained 3 kids now (2 girls and a boy)!    If given the opportunity, I know I can make this the very best experience for you possible, because I am confident in myself, and in my child-caring skills and know that once you have met me, you will be too! I like to think of myself more as a third parent than as any employee, because I feel the stronger the bond is between parent and gaurdian the better the children's care will be. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your children, to see if a future could be created together!

I have been working at a day care for the past three years with ages that range from 4-12. I work now as a swim instructor from ages 2-10. My major is social work and want to be in an elementary school but am comfortable with all ages! I am very passionate with working with kids and would love to find a family to babysit/nanny!
