Vacation Nanny for foreign families coming to the USA and American's traveling abroad. Personal Chef. Caregiver. Home Manager/Personal Assistant. The age criteria of most Family's profiles are hindering access to a world of value in finding qualified Au Pairs and Nanny's. I am 56. I have many years experience with tending to homes and home duties. I carry a life full of experience, and put the needs of others above personal needs. I trust the family to stay mindful of that. I am cultured and internationally geared. I have a long list of "jack of all trades" beginning at a young age of 17 where I had my own auto detail business and a "maid" service in 2 states. I have been a property manager and then onto motherhood.I also can run a farm and all the equipment on it. I am NOT saying that I want to do that again. Just saying that I am well versed in many life styles and have a wide range of experience. I love gardening and organic growing & cheesemaking.
I can drive any vehicle from car, RV, motorcycle, bus, wave runner, boats, bush hog, cranes, tractors, or backhoes. The more sticks and buttons the more fun. I look at mowing as a good way to get a tan and not work at all. I can fix and figure just about anything out. I'm worth way more then you'll pay for. I am unmarried, have one son, Seth. My favorite Marine. I have 4 grandchildren yet making myself available to take on the tasks of another family's needs at this time. Or to tend to the home tasks of a "too busy" business man or family who cannot keep up alone. Call if you’d like in person interview. I LOVE to cook and grocery shop. But Can’t stand clothes shopping. Making healthy meals is a passion and turn on for me. Nutritionist/ Catering parties or dinner for two. Organic/ Whole foods and zero processed foods. Keto / low carb. But gotta bake my artisan sourdough once a month. Tons of references.I have traveled abroad and know that food from other countries is far better then the "American Diet". I love international cuisine, but can cook anything from New England (I was born in Maine) to Southwestern American dishes. I dream of having my own Food Network show. :) My ultimate dream goal is to be someones personal chef. I am very "cultured". Youth minister for over 35 years. I have an ever learning character but am not a "know it all". I have lived in ME, NY, grew up in Chicago land, NC, AZ, AR, OK, CA, FL. SA. I am working on several writing projects at this time, and write at my computer in every free or available minute. I write daily devotionals. A "thought for the day" kinda gal.
I clean up wonderfully, but am a tomboy at heart. I love wave running, hunting & fishing and motorcycles. Country girl. I love to hike and have been known to climb a few trees here and there. And I’ve been known to take off go camping in the woods alone./Hunting. I quarantine before every new job and I cannot vaccinate. So if you’re comfortable with your vaccination protecting you please don’t push it on me. My blood it’s overflowing with antibodies and I I don’t intend to change that for a paycheck. My health means more to me than your fear. I don’t watch television and I stay either busy or in Rest all the time.
I look at divorce as a tragedy and beam like a flare with those suffering from it's effects. I look at marriage as the single most important institution on earth and plant seeds of love in the presence of any couple.
I am educated and have been a teacher, counselor, and administrator for a charter school teaching grades 5th through 12th. I have worked with ADHD and ADD and "at risk" children and studly a gift and not a disorder! I finally went off medication as an adult and realized, I love myself alas! I worked with students and parents on every level of school life and extra curricular activities. I have served actively in church as a Praise Singer and walk upright, frank, honest and transparent. If you don't like to hear singing, then you probably won't enjoy me. I have lived many lifestyles and can adapt easily to most any family situation. At one time I tended to 13 children at a Retreat Center in North Carolina; that duty lasted several years. It was a blast!!! 5 of the children were in diapers and the oldest was 8. The staff (parents) were not that far out of reach Years later, I returned to the Center to work on staff once more, and some of the same kids were there all grown up in their teen years (it was GREAT to be adored & remembered). I helped head up a home school program by serving as "teacher" - while the kids served on a traveling musical drama team which prevented them from attending public school. I play with children and love video games and board games. I have a "child heart" and most adults don't get it but it is not something that seems to be changing as I age. Even in group gatherings I find myself wandering towards the children and playing with them. Grant writer; college essay writing/ Thx for stopping by. NM
