Experience: I am the oldest of 4 children and the oldest of over 20 cousins, so I have been around children and assigned as the designated babysitter almost my entire life. When I was 12, I took the Red Cross Babysitting course, and became certified in CPR and First Aid. Since then, I have been babysitting for family friends and neighbors for date nights, work days, vacations, errand runs, or anything else the families needed. As I got a little older, I babysat more frequently and was typically watching children at least twice a week. Since I have been at college, I have been nannying full time and part time, as well as just on call babysitting. I am comfortable watching children of all ages and have experience with infants, all the way to preteens. I am also comfortable watching children overnight, and for extended periods of time.

Experience with the following age groups: I have experience with all ages of children, from infants to preteen; however, my most common jobs have been with toddler and preschool aged children. At my most recent nannying job, I cared for 3 boys, a 1 year old, 3 year old and 5 year-old!

Interests and hobbies:I enjoy being active and have very many various hobbies and interests. I especially love the outdoors, and love swimming, hiking, camping, biking, etc. I also love arts and cultural events and love to attend music and art festivals, museums, movies, food festivals. I love to travel and try to find any excuse to broaden my horizons and learn more about other cultures and lifestyles. I also have very close relationships with my family and love spending time with my family and close friends.

Describe your childcare style:I am energetic and love to have fun with the kids! I am definitely laid back, but still organized and responsible. While having fun is definitely important, staying safe and following the lifestyles and rules of the family are even more important. I like to let kids have opinions and have a say in what they do, while still setting certain boundaries. I love to have fun and be active with the kids, but I also know the importance in being an authoritative figure in the childrens lives and am not afraid to be firm (but loving) if necessary.

What activities do you like to do with children:I love to do anything active and creative. It is fun to find games to play outside, and also to find cool craft projects. As I said before, I love the outdoors, so I am happy to go swimming, hiking, to the park, etc. I am really flexible and am willing to do just about anything the kids are interested in. In the past, I have loved being able to take the kids I watch to museums and other educational places where they can learn and discover new things!

Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? I have always loved kids and found it very easy to get along with children. Throughout my entire life, I have been surrounded by kids, and always loved and cherished the time I got to spend with them. It is important to be able to set a positive example to kids and be a good role model for them as they grow up!

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?As a nanny, it is so important to be compassionate and understanding. Children can sometimes be difficult to work with and you have to be able to understand that and be patient. While those traits are very important, being able to have fun and relate to the kids is also so important. Laughing and having fun with the kids creates a positive environment, and from there you can create genuine relationships and long lasting memories.

Additional comments:I look forward to meeting your family!
