Hello and Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am a young at heart loving, caring, dependable nanny/babysitter who has been caring for children most of my life. As a teen I was in demand and kept a busy schedule as a very dependable, responsible and reliable babysitter, who went on to become a nanny to two separate families on consecutive summers. Having worked with children most of my life, I've been a 6th grade teacher as well as teaching 4th grade math through first year HS algebra. I have been a Vacation Bible School Director, children's church pastor and Sunday school teacher. I've overseen activities and field trips with the children in my charge. I am also an advocate of home schooling, having home schooled my own children. I began professionally in 2008 caring for the children of 3 young families, all of whom I Read more loved very much. but after spending only a brief period of time with each of these three delightful families. as a part time sitter / child care provider, I took on the responsibility of caring for my elderly parents. Recently, I've worked with a number of families with children ranging in age from 2 months to Teens finishing HS. In the past I was certified life guard training. I am working on updating my CPR and First Aid certificates. I have a clean background and a excellent driving record, Nutrition is a special interest of mine. I would be a good fit for parents who are interested in a healthy diet for their children. I will do 'light cooking' for the child/infant, and have experience making organic baby food. In addition to caring for your child, I will leave your home in the same clean condition as it was when I arrived. Any dishes used will be put into the dishwasher, counters cleaned, children's clothes washed, and any other 'light' clean up needed. If you want someone who is responsible, reliable, dependable, cheerful and who would love your child and take excellent care of them while you are away, please do not hesitate to drop me a message, and lets get together and talk! My schedule is flexible, so please do not hesitate to check with me about the schedule. Thank you (again) for taking the time to read my profile. May you find that 'perfect' fit for your family and for your child! ~Karen References available upon request.
