Child Care Provider and Nanny - EMILY M. (User #77751) A child care provider and nanny in Orlando, FL 32806

I am 23 and currently live in the Conway area, close to downtown. I have nannied for 3 wonderful families regularly in the past year and half. I have not been nannying recently due to preparations to spend a few months in South Africa with a humanitarian/missionary organization. That has since fallen through unexpectedly, and I am staying in Orlando to pursue a degree at Valencia (Graphic Design) and to wait and see if Africa is in the cards for this upcoming year. In the meantime, I am looking for part-time nanny work!

I've worked in youth ministry before, at Discovery Church (<WEBSITE> babysat since I was 13, and helped care for my younger siblings as they grew up. I have some experience volunteering with school-aged children as well, at an orphanage (Panama 2003), inner-city ministry (Orlando Children's Church), and volunteer events. As far as part- and full-time nanny jobs, I have extensive experience with:

: children ages 1-6 year old
: assisting in potty-training
: pets
: at-risk teens
: housework (dishes, laundry, sweeping, light clean-up)
: adapting to new cultures
: special needs (behavioral issues, sensory disorder, ADD)
: I am also CPR certified!

I love children. Caring for them comes so naturally to me that it hardly seems like a "job." I stay interactive and tuned in to the kids and rarely just sit them in front of the television. I enjoy feeling like a trusted part of the family. I am:

: trustworthy
: responsible
: impeccably honest & upfront
: firm
: fun (I brought my guitar one time while watching a little girl and taught her a song called "Spiders." She may not be the next Bono but she sure got a kick out of it.)
: flexible toward parents' wishes
: a safe driver with a clean record
: non-smoker
: generally hope to be an uplifting influence to child & family.

I am going to school part-time this semester (fall '09) so my schedule is relatively open. Message me for information on rates, locations, hours, and so on.  I'd love to do coffee with any interested parties!
