Child Care Provider and Nanny - MARIE W. (User #52352) A child care provider and nanny in Centreville, VA 20120

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About Me: Hello, My Name is Marie Waters. I have ten years babysitting experience, and am twenty three years old and am a paramedic. I love taking care of children of all ages and interacting with them, assisting them with using their manners, and also love helping school-age children with homework. In addition I also truly love caring for infants, as it is amazing to watch how their personalities expand on a daily basis! I have extensive training in the recognition, as well as treatment of life threatening injuries and illnesses in infants, children, and adults. I also had a Virginia state background check completed in january which also included a Sex Offender Registry search.

I also have wonderful references to give during an interview, I do not post my references on the internet because I would prefer to not have them receiving lots of phone calls before I even meet a family. I am able to bring all certifications as well as the clean background check result sheet with me during an interview, and will also provide my references' contact information. Verification of my VA EMT-Intermediate certification is also available via a name search on the Virginia Office of Emergency Medicine (VA OEMS) Website: <WEBSITE> Enter First Name:Marie Last Name: Waters It will state fairfax county fire department emt-i.

In addition to all the basic sitter duties I enjoy teaching children both about safety and what a firefighter as well as a police officer uniform look like while explaining to them that both firefighters and police officers are safe people to turn to when they need help. As far as discipline goes I believe in time-outs, or time-outs for toys. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement (sticker chart with prize at end of week, pick of dinner or activity etc) I like to try and mimic the parents' way of doing things the most to keep structure in childrens lives, and also try and cater to the activities the specific child likes most (after any room-cleaning/homework if any they’re required to do is done).

I currently have my ground Paramedic (National Registry EMT-I) certification as well as a Sport Safety Certification, which is more focused on orthopedic type injuries.I also have recieved advanced ITLS (International Trauma Life Support certification), as well as PALS certification (Pediatric Advanced Life Support), and ACLS certification (Advanced Cardiac Life Support). In addition, I also have a current certification in Healthcare Provider level CPR for infants, children, and adults. I also attended the safe-sitter course held at Reston hospital and received a safe-sitter certification. I attended a local police volunteer leadership academy/ bootcamp for a week this summer, and also attended a national leadership bootcamp hosted by the US Army MPs for a week at the Fort Leonard Wood, MO army base. Only 24 people nationwide graduated from the program this year, and 25 were accepted into the program. I have a wide range of experience dealing with up to four children at a time, and also caring for children between three weeks of age and twelve years old.

I currently work as a fulltime critical care transport paramedic. and am also an operational volunteer with the county fire and rescue department, and was a county police department volunteer until the end of 2007 when I aged out of the program. I provide over 1000 hours of volunteer service to my community each year. I am a Paramedic with the fire department as well as with a transport company, which allows me to run calls in an ambulance as one of the emergency care providers. I am directly responsible for the pre-hospital patient care of any patient during the time I staff an ambulance. I am currently in school to receive my flight level paramedic certification and a criminal justice degree, and hope to one day be a cross-trained police officer/paramedic with a helicopter divison.

Thank You for Your Time, and I Hope to Hear from You Soon!

~Marie
