Available thru Sept 6th. I am a 47 year-old female. I have experience as a nanny, middle school teacher and personal 24/7 caregiver. I am currently a nanny for a 6 month old. Unfortunately, they will be moving back to Georgia at the beginning of August. Neighbors, friends, references and I describe myself as a passionate, dedicated and generous person. I take my responsiblies extremely serious. I am very personable and am told I have a great sense of humor. In addition, I also have to cats. To start, I had taken on a job as a nanny during my college years. I actually worked for two sisters' children, alternating. I took care of two of the children as soon as they were born. The other 2 children were just 2 or 3 years older. (I still can't believe that one is getting married this year.) I helped in every Read more way possible just like their parents. I provided all care even through times of their illnesses. Things like potty training, reading and education activities, meals and going on adventures both local and distant. This continued even a the children were approaching school- age. During my teaching years, I was a Middle School Math teacher at St. Fabian in Farmington Hills. My responsibilities involved constant communication with students, parents and staff. I was dedicated to my students not only in the classroom but through tutoring before, during lunch and after school. As Instant Messaging and texting became available, I invited them to ask questions even through the evening. I expected success from my students. If they had difficulty understanding a concept or lesson or scored low on an assignment, I would giving them another chance or a many as needed. As a result, at that point and throughout high school, most were very confident and well-prepared. As a caregiver, I took care of my good friend and neighbor, Irene, after she had a stroke at the age of 71 in 2008. Prior to that event she worked 40 hours a week. From the minute she was finally able to call me after experiencing her stroke, I was by her side. She became my 'adopted' mom. I just could not imagine her children placing her in a facility because they had families and other responsibities such as work. I offered to help, as a friend, and never addressed it as a financial opportunity. She did provide for both of our needs, throughout, and for that I am forever grateful.
