This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I first started watching children part-time when I was 13; I regularly took care of children from 4 different families with the children ranging in ages from 6 months to 12 years. This led to a steady after school position in high school and eventually to a full-time nanny position taking care of four children for a year after high school. After college and over 10 years experience in a career in engineering, I realized that being with children is what really made me happy and decided to make a career change. I am a very loving, kind and patient caregiver who finds joy in watching children learn and grow. I am very responsible and feel that your children's safety and well-being is my first priority. In my last position as a nanny, I had the wonderful opportunity to care for twin boys for three years. I started when they were 5 months old in a part-time capacity. A few months later, this evolved into a full-time position. I was responsible for feeding the boys, changing them, taking them on outings and above all, making sure they were safe and happy. During my time with the boys, I taught them infant sign language, read to them daily, took them to parks, libraries, museums, the zoo, engaged in age-appropriate activities and shared my love of music with them. I have a strict no TV policy and looked at everyday as an opportunity to teach them something new. I also made sure that everyday was filled with laughter. By the age of three and a half, both boys were reading, could write their names and almost all of the alphabet, could spell several words and would try to spell new words. I taught them basic addition, how to play a scale and a few songs on the piano. I believe that as a child care provider, it is my duty to make sure that the children I am caring for feel safe and loved at all times.

Interview went well. Was really great with our daughter. We ended up having an offer accepted by another caregiver shortly after her interview, so we we're unable to hire her...but would have!
