I am a very healthy woman in my fifties and like to keep active.I enjoy nature and all that life has to offer.I have always enjoyed children and bond very well with them.Aside from my working experience with children I have three grown children who mean everything to me and love to spend time together on weekends enjoying special dinners with their dad and I. I also have a passion for cooking healthy nutritious meals and have been able to implement it with families I've worked for over the years who expressed great appreciation and flattery and were quite open in allowing me to usually decide on the actual meals.I have because of my children's upbringing enjoyed being active with other children and have always liked to keep them engaged in various activities of all ages.I have been told often by parents how grateful they feel when leaving their children in my care and not having to worry the minute they leave them which has always encouraged only the best of care and to easily care for them like my own.I have cared for children from infant to early teens and can easily accommodate their needs,I'm very patient ,reliable fun to be around honest .I recently worked for a family for twelve plus years and had never called in sick and because the mom was a general practitioner I respected her responsibilities.I am looking for a long term position and I feel very confident to meeting most families needs in all aspects for their children and home.
