Describe your childcare style:I like to know what the familes values are, so I can reinforce them. I am very fun, creative, energetic and attentive and can easily establish rapport with most kids, winning them over with my warmth and silliness. I always treat children with respect, and I in turn, expect to be treated respectfully. I reinforce good manners and encourage children to help clean up after themselves, and follow directions especially in situations in which health and safety are an issue. I am very positive and warm in my approach, and love to laugh and have fun. My friends call me the “kid whisperer” because I have a knack for gaining their cooperation, and getting them to eat healthy food.

What activities do you like to do with children:Art, crafts, games, playing at parks, sports, reading aloud, hiking, walking, bike riding, scootering, swimming, exploring, checking out progress on local construction projects, who does not like big earth movers, cement trucks etc?! It is fun going to rec centers to rock climb, play racquetball, basketball, swim etc; picnics, zoo, amusement parks, walking to ice cream or frozen yogurt shop, cooking and baking!

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?Responsible, safety conscious, dependable, loving, positive, attentive, creative, intelligent, fun, tidy, organized and a little silly.
