Very experienced, energetic but level-headed German Native, extremely loyal and adaptable, who has been surrounded by children of all ages and backgrounds and constellations, is currently looking for the right fit. I am a nurturing caregiver with years of experience in taking care of newborns, infants, multiples, twins.... all the way to their teen years. I have studied ECE and Social Work, kept up my CPR ever since and have six years of experience in working with people with developmental disabilities. I take pride in household management. At times I would organize and oversee four households as a residential manager. Personally, I'm a bit on the crunchy side. I am also quite creative in setting up the ideal surrounding for any child, and I love to read. Libraries are my first to go place with infants. I am very resourceful in scheduling activities and outings to ensure optimal development. I Read more am a legal resident and raised two very smart, bilingual boys that are now "out of the house". On a more personal note, I enjoy bike riding, long walks and hikes, and yoga. Current references and background check are available.
