I began my career as a nanny with twin newborns. The parents were family friends, and I can't even begin to describe how much I came to love these girls. I believe that having experience with newborns- TWO newborns- gives me great confidence in working with kids. My current job is a family of four children. I started with this family before their youngest was born. I had the amazing opportunity to bond with the three older kids for 5 months before the youngest came along. I have now been with this family for almost three years..... I am 100% a part of their lives and honestly hope to find the same thing in my next job, I just feel like I am beginning to outgrow the needs of my current family. As a nanny, I believe I specialize in the care for younger children, and have the experience to tackle the craziness that comes with multiples. I hate to leave the family I am currently with because I love them so much, but “my” youngest is ready for preschool and I am no longer needed!

I have been babysitting for various famlies since my freshmen year of high school. My junior and senior year of high school I worked for a lady/family friend cleaning her house and watching and taking care of a little boy (about 1 years of age) who belonged to a couple who were employed by her as well. I enjoyed it thoroughly. My senior year of high school I also taught a first grade sunday school class with my mom and was also a volunteer teacher for second graders at Vacation Bible school. I babysit for my neighbors every so often and last summer I led another group of about 9 kids of various ages at the Vacation Bible school where I attended church when I was at school (University of Northern Colorado). I started caring for a 15 month year old last August, but since she and her family are moving, I am looking for a new position.

I have been involved with childcare constantly. In fact, as soon as I turned 10 years old, I got certified as a babysitter and in CPR. One of my favorite jobs was running the child care center of an athletic facility. Even after I moved on from the job, I still babysat regularly for 5 of the families from the gym! I adore children, and do my best in every aspect of my life, whether it be academics, athletics, church activities/volunteering, and competitions I am involved in such as pageants and fitness shows, to be the best role model I can be. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story!

I am 21 years old and have been working with children for about seven years. I started the typical babysitting at around 14 and at 16 switched to working part time at a home daycare. Around the age of 18 i began working as a toddler teacher at a Primrose school and have been there loving what i do ever since! I am CPR, First Aid and universal precautions certified and have taken ECE classes. I also partake in around 16 hours of yearly training in but not limited to, Child development, classroom management, seizer training and sign language classes (i think Signing is an extremely important and helpful development tool and i use it throughout the day with my toddlers)

I am currently a full-time, live-in nanny for a 6 month old baby boy in Denver, CO. I love my job and the family, but I am looking into moving to California at the beginning of next year (2012) after my contract is completed. I have always loved kids and started babysitting when I was about twelve. I have two beautiful nieces who have only increase my love for caring for kids. I attended college for 3 1/2 years and completed my pre-requisites for nursing school. I then took a break from school to travel with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) for about 5 months. I would like to have a job set up before moving out there.
