I am experienced Elementary School Teacher arrived from Russia. After moving to United States I evaluated my diploma and met criteria to work in Early Childhood Day Care Centers. I worked as a Babysitter/ Nanny, and as a Teacher in the early child care facilities. I speak English and Russian. My goal is to educate children by playing games and motivate them to think independently. It is important for me that they will be active, healthy, well fed and feel themselves happy. As a Babysitter I like to read books to kids and listen to their opinion after all. I can sit on the floor and solve the puzzles with kids together. We can dance, sing or do art projects. I can supervise with homework routine. I am easy going, friendly, and responsible. I am willing to drive kids to activities, do light house keeping work. I am looking for long - term Read more position. I am available for full or part time, and I am flexible in hours. I can provide care at my place or at the child's home. I took care of 3 kids on - call basis. Dropped off and picked up from school, drove 2 older kids to the swimming lessons. Helped 4.5 year old in shower after lessons and supervised 8 years old boy in family changing room. In the evening hours I finished with dinner, put dishes to the washing machine, cleaned up dining area, played with children, helped them to be ready to bed, bathed 2- years old, changed her a diaper and supervised 2 others who are older. I had another family of 3 girls on full -time basis. I bottled, changed diapers, cooked them meal and cleaned up kitchen after kids done eating. In a morning routine I helped with dressing up, trained kids with toileting habits, played outside, read books, did art and craft projects with middle one, helped with reading or others learning activities with the oldest one. I also provided necessary care for the youngest one ( 8 months old), Also, I helped with light housework such as cooking, cleaning up kitchen area, picking up toys, loading and uploading dishes, kids laundry.

Sasha has been with us for 2 years and has become part of our family. She is reliable, creative and always willing to help. She started when my daughter was 6 and my son was 3. She has never called off, she is creative with actives for the children, she never has them watch TV. She also takes them to all week day activities. She manages the house, she make sure the refrigerator is stocked, laundry is done.
