The combination of my many years of childcare experience, my sixteen years of parenting, and my nursing degree offer a solid foundation for this nanny position. Although I do maintain my nurse licensure, my love for children has remained a priority resulting in my current work as a professional nanny. Although I do not hold an education degree, I homeschooled my children when they were young as well as children of other families in subjects they weren’t comfortable teaching. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in Indiana. I am dedicated to caring for my clients with the utmost care and compassion, while maintaining integrity and confidentiality. I am an energetic and enthusiastic self-starter with the strength and aptitude to work independently while making solid decisions. I am extremely inquisitive and driven to acquire knowledge over and above what is required. I would love the opportunity to share these qualities with your family. I am an excellent multi-tasker with outstanding organizational skills and a superior attention to detail. I am experienced in keeping my charges on a schedule which results in happy, content children. My childcare duties have included preparing and serving nutritious meals and snacks, reading quality books, and planning brain-stimulating activities while maintaining a safe and healthy environment. My housekeeping duties have involved all aspects of a regular housekeeper, including, but not limited to, sweeping/mopping, dusting, vacuuming, laundry, bathrooms, kitchens, and windows.

I have nannied for two different families during summer breaks from college. One family had a 6 year old boy with learning difficulties that I worked with when he wasn't with his tutor. That young boy also had a 12 year old sister so I had to find activities that would appeal to both. I also helped a mother with a newborn and young toddler. I have done everything from meal preparation, to driving to activities, to taking kids to pools, parks, and libraries. I have done light housework mainly cleanup from our daily activities. I am the oldest girl in a family of 5 children so I started caring for children at a small age. Our family also fostered many babies in our home and I helped to take care of those babies. I have babysat for families since the age of 13. In high school, I organized and ran an educational summer camp for kids in our neighborhood. I did that for 2 summers and I loved it. I was an art gallery manager for years and I organized 2 summers of art kids camps and they are still doing them even after I left. I love teaching, creating, and having fun with children.

My work history includes previous long term nanny experiences for a number of local families as well as various positions in children's retail. Currently, I am an assistant product manager corporate offices and am always looking for new ways to expand my creativity, child-focused vision, and experience with childcare. I started, several years ago, as a full-time nanny responsible for two toddlers (16 mos and 3 yrs). From there, my interactions with a child's world have motivated me to pursue a child-oriented career which I have followed for the last ten years. From full-time care for premature newborn twins and entry-level associate positions to an art/design internship and my current corporate position, I have used my drive and determination to achieve greater understanding of a child's mind and the wonder through which they see the world. Recently, I completed a two-year supervisor role in my local church nursery (as a volunteer) and have also previously assisted as a classroom tutor for kindergarten & 3rd grade students in local schools. I absolutely love and enjoy working with children of all ages. I look forward to meeting with you and can supply references, as needed.

My first opportunity to have the privilege of working with children was when I volunteered every Sunday in my church nursery with the infants at the age of eleven. from there, I have babysat various families for 9 years, was a pre-camp counselor for ten four to five year old's at Camp all American in 2007. In 2009, I was a counselor for 8 young girls ages 8-12 struggling with various mental disabilities along with 2 other counselors and this past summer I was a camp counselor for 8 children ranging in ages from 6 to 9 years. I have also volunteered at several apartment complexes through my church with young children in which we came up with games for them and loved on them.In high school, I participated in an after school program through an organization for preschool and elementary aged abused and underprivileged kids every other week my senior year.

I have worked for many families whether it was long-term or short-term. With all of the families I have worked for I made sure that all of the children were well taken care of. I cooked,cleaned, and did whatever else was neccessary to make sure they were happy and having fun. I made sure that I implemented a wide variety of activities the children and parents would enjoy and benefit from. I have enjoyed doing numerous art projects, taking walks, playing games, going to the museum, library, park, swimming, or even just taking the family dog on a walk. I have always loved being with children, they are very loyal and loving, and I have always had a great relationship with every child and family I have worked with.
