This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Carrie, in high school I took the preschool education class three semesters. I have also been baby-sitting for 10 years and have been a nanny for the last two years as well. I am CPR certified for adults, children, and infants. I was baby-sitting certified through my local park district. I have baby-sat for four main families and others here and there. Three out of the four families I have watched have multiple children, so I am very comfortable with watching multiple children but my maximum is three if the eldest one is semi-independent. I have worked with a child who had Down Syndrome and a child aspergers. Plus, I have helped in a small in home day care facility with a few newborns and have watched children up to the age of 10. I don 't have any philosophies really about the kids I watch because every child is different, but while I am there I push to make sure they use mannerisms and have a creative imagination. For the rest of it, though, I will follow the parent's way of teaching their children.

Carrie has been working with us for 9 months now and the kids love her. She is great! She picks my son up from preschool, she helps my daughter with her homework, she takes them to the library, sometimes out to lunch and/or whatever practice we might have that day be it basketball, or guitar. She communicates all their activities when I get home. I also have 2 crazy dogs that she is comfortable with. I would highly recommend her.
