My Experience:
* Recently, I was taking care of two girls under the age of three for 3 months from 7 am to 5 pm Monday trough Friday. Under my care they were fed breakfast, lunch, and snacks, received baths, daily grooming of teeth, hair, diaper changes, and were educated during playtime.
* I have a precious 10 year old cousin who I have watched throughout his childhood, as well as his school mates. I took care of him off and on, from diapers, feeding, soothing his teething, potty training, through preschool and elementary school.
* I spent a summer watching a 5 year old boy and 8 year old girl from 7 am to 5 pm monday through friday. I woke them up, prepared meals, enforced good sibling behavior, kept up with education, and organized crafts and activities. I have watched these children over the years and now they are too old for a babysitter.
* I did work for a foster child organization. I either watched a couple children while a foster parent went out, or helped watch a large group of children while the foster parents had large meetings.
* I also have spent time babysitting children ages 2 months to age 11 during parents night out.I have since then taken a break to complete college courses in health science and human biology. I love being around children, and I hope we can be a perfect match.

My Work Ethic:
I believe the most important thing is that your kids are happy, healthy, safe, and in a positive stimulating environment. I feel I am a emotionally healthy and balanced women. I can be a positive role model for you child and enforce good morals. I have proper transportation, valid drivers license, willing to take background check, and supply references. I also like to keep you updated on everything and you can expect a daily written update from me on how your children are doing in all aspects. I understand lots of parents wish they could always be around their children and I do my best to keep you involved and informed. I also understand that children need stability and build strong bonds with their nanny. With that being said I am able to commit long term to a family. I am extremely reliable, I have never missed a day babysitting and show up early and prepared to work.
I hope my experience is what your family, and I both need. Currently, I am considering this my brief childcare resume/cover letter. I am available to start ASAP. My rates are per hour depending on duties but this is negotiable. I am interested in knowing when you would need me and where you are located.
Mahalo,
