Hello families! Thank you for your interest in selecting my profile and taking the time to read.
A bit about myself and my career...
I have been working with children/adolescents professionally for 17 years. I have been doing cognitive behavioral modification and psycho social rehabilitation therapy with autistic, intellectually challenged and emotionally disturbed children. Currently, I run lead for an adolescents outpatient program at a psychiatric hospital. I do believe in structure and what i dont like calling "discipline" but redirection. I would be a perfect fit for a family that feels their children would benefit from this. Of course my professional work with behavioral mod is strictly done with love, patience and understanding. Even when it's pretty full on, I am still warm caring and fun loving.. I also work well with well behaved children too ahhaa and who doesnt =D What an absolute joy it has been.
As amazing as it has been, I have found being an au pair/nanny just as enjoyable! I love working with a family on a more 1-1 basis. It's easier meeting the day to day demands of one family and making everybody less stressed and happy at the end of the day than it is for four families lol. Its a bit more cohesive with my interaction as well. So I feel it's a right fit for me. I also have experience in respite care with the elderly.
I am quite easy to get along with to say the least. Very clean and quiet during my downtime. At times you wouldn't know I was there for those who love their privacy. I am very honest and forthright. I am not a snoop lol and I mean I dont even go through my own friends medicine cabinets!! Your privacy is YOUR privacy. I am witty and very playful. A lover of the arts and a GREAT love for music in all genres known to the world. I love the outdoors and fresh air. Trying new things, new foods and very adaptable to my surroundings. I can assure you that I will meet any and all criteria you may have including: CPR, first aid, valid drivers licence etc. Please read through my questionnaire and if you have any further inquiries, I am more than happy to oblidge answering all. I am seeking live out positions if your inquiring for child care. Please also keep in mind that I work FT at the hospital.
Thank you for your time. Warmest regards,
Juliet Helena
