Experience: I have been babysitting for the past six years. I have worked with friends, family, and neighbors. I have babysat during work days, date nights, and vacations. I am comfortable working both long and short hours as well as staying overnight when needed. I am comfortable with pets and light housework. I also have experience with special needs children and feel comfortable working with children who need extra attention. I have not only worked with children in their home and vacation environments, but also on ice while they are figure skating. I am a figure skating judge and coach that has have the privilege to work with children of all ages.

Experience with the following age groups: Infants Todlers Pre School Grade School

Interests and hobbies:I love crafting, baking, and being active. As a national and regional competitive figure skater, I know the importance of physical activity. I also know how fun it can be! Most of all, I enjoy volunteering. In high school, I went on several two week service projects. One of which was at a local high school working with children with special needs as a teaching assistant and another in Belize educating children who have been raised in poverty and do not have the privileges we have here in America. I also enjoy fundraising for my sororities philanthropy.

Describe your childcare style:I think it is very important to follow the expectations of what parents have for their children. I think with understanding the parents wishes, and listening to the childrens needs, I am able to create a fun and safe environment that meets everyones expectations.

What activities do you like to do with children:I am open to doing many activities with children! In my past experiences I have found children love to play games, arts and crafts, and enjoy outdoor activities such as riding bikes, swimming, and going on trips to the park. I am very open and willing to do any safe and fun option the children suggest and the parents approve. I am perfectly content doing outdoor or indoor activities depending on the weather and the childrens schedules.

Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? I am interested in working as a nanny for many reasons. First and foremost, I love children and education. I have worked with many children over the past six years through various service projects and babysitting opportunities. As a nanny I will not only be able to educate young children, but they will also be able to educate me and give me the life experiences I enjoy so much! Second, I enjoy helping out parents. Having parents that work fulltime, I know what a struggle it sometimes can be to balance family and work. I am more than happy to help out and make sure the kids are enjoying the time they spend away from their parents.

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?I think it is very important that a nanny is able to communicate well with the family and children they work with. I believe that every nanny should be flexible and respect the needs of the family they are working with. I strongly believe that a nanny should be trustworthy, dependable, and able to overcome any challenges presented while on the job, in a safe and fun environment.

Additional comments:I am an energetic and reliable individual who always strives to have a positive attitude. I believe my strongest qualities are compassion, perseverance, and dedication and a genuine love of children!.
