Experience: I have 15 years babysitting, 2 years as a mothers helper/nanny and 2 years house managing experience. I love children and have experience working with kids of all ages.

Interests and hobbies:I just started a career as a professional triathlete so I spend a lot of time swimming, biking and running. I enjoy being outdoors and also like to camp, hike and ski. I like to try and sew but do not get to very often.

Describe your childcare style:I think firstly it is important to set a good example. Children pick up on things very quickly. I think by demonstrating good values, they will want to do the same. I am firm with children, but not mean. Children need boundaries and it is important to set them. It makes them feel safe. I also think they behave best when they have structure and a routine to follow. I try to have clear, consistent rules so there is no confusion of what is expected of them.

What activities do you like to do with children:I love to play games outside, ride bikes go to playgrounds, swim. If it is not nice outside I like to play board games, read or cook with them.

Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? Currently I am training as a professional triathlete and it is helpful to have a work schedule that is flexible. I have always enjoyed working with children and take pride in setting a good example for them to follow.

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?I think it is important for a nanny to be a good role model. They should be someone that the child can feel safe and comfortable with. I also believe it is important to be nice, caring, understanding and to be able to relate to kids without acting like a kid, but still have fun!

Additional comments:I look forward to working with your family!
