Dear Family, I am a recent graduate. I have my bachelors in English as well as a minor in French. I have taken 18 hours of education courses which has helped me to understand the various stages, abilities and trends of various age groups. My college courses gave me opportunities to work with students in the classroom. Additionally, I have over four years of experience with a family who I was sad to have left. I can cook, clean, and garden. I enjoy drawing, painting, reading, and hiking or jogging. My outlook is positive and adventurous although I am cautious and methodical as well. I have imagination and I am very young at heart. My experience has also helped me to be structured and patient as well. In the 4+ years working as a nanny I never raised my voice or lost my temper. I had to work for motivation in gaining participation as well as encouraging positive behavior. Additionally, I am very green and teach these principles as well as live by them. I just spent two months wwoofing in Hawaii. I gardened as well as maintained the house and cooked/baked. However, now I am in Boston and eagerly seeking a family!
