Hi families! I am looking for a part time position three days per week with minimum of 15 hours. My last contract was for two years and it was a share. The babes were both three months old at the start and nearing 2.5 years at the end. I have amazing references from these families as well as many others. My childcare experience started in the 4th grade with two toddlers! I have truly loved children my entire life. I continued babysitting through high school; then in college had a couple live in nanny jobs. For one and a half years, I lived with a family full time - at first there was a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old; followed by a newborn. So, yes, I have had experience with infants and "multiples". After college I began my working career but continued in my helping fashion. I married; we got into Read more foster care; and followed that with adoption. I also did respite care for other foster families needing a "respite". This was usually weekends. My focus has been working with special needs populations. So, I've truly done all there is. I am also a guardian to an adult with developmental disabilities. I always get along with all ages of kids. I'm fun and silly all the time. I play on the floor and am interested in what they are doing and thinking. I have tons of professional references as well as child related.  I have a new safe car for outings as well. I also am an animal person! I have a Havanese, who is three years old, doesn't bark, hypoallergenic and does not shed. He adores kids of all ages. I love my pets dearly! I think I might love them more than some of my family! Previously I had two diabetic dogs and I gave them insulin shots for 11 years. If you have pets; that is great! No problem here!     MEMBER: I am now a member of the International Nanny Association and will be completing the necessary tests to receive my INA Nanny Credentials.
