Hi, I'm Mary. I am looking for a beautiful family to care for and be their nanny! I love to be with children and enjoy enriching their skills and interest. I enjoy tapping into their learning styles and help them explore new interests. I am retired. I am a certified educator, BS in Education. I have a total of 9 years experience working as a teachers' assistant in special education. Six of the years are in early childhood special education. Also, 5 years working with before/after and summer school programs, ages K through 8 grade. I have worked with children in wheelchairs, autism, Aspergers, downs syndrome, learning delays and disorders, rett syndrome, delayed speech and sign language, bipolar disorder and the autism spectrum. I have always learned how to communicate with all children, no matter their special needs. I am experienced in diapering and naps. As, well, as food preparation for bottling and special dishes/cups for self-feeding assistance. The following is a list of many of my interests and hobbies: * cooking and cleanup * arts and crafts * love being outdoors * previously certified water safety * blue belt in Tae Kwon Do * play 5 instruments * enjoy all fine arts * love dogs * enjoy board games and puzzles * shopping and errands * gardening and flowers * sewing and cross stitch * scrap booking and making cards * previously CPR certified * traveling with family * some sign language skills * Food Handlers Card

To Whom It May Concern: I wanted to write to tell you about my family friend, Mary, who is one of the best people I have ever met. I am truly lucky to have her in my life, and I can only hope that I am able to make you see her the way I do. Mary is an organized, responsible, and caring, to say the least. She is giving and kind and openhearted, and anyone who comes into contact with her walks away feeling a little bit better about himself or herself. Mary just has that effect on people without even trying. I have known Mary for almost ten years. Since then, every time I reflect on our friendship, I truly thank my lucky stars that Mary happened to come into my life. I feel it is absolutely true that I would not be who I am today if it weren't for the influence of Mary. I have no doubt that Mary does not need this letter to show you what an incredible human being she is, but I wanted to write it anyway. I'm sure you'll get many letters just like this about Mary, which should let you know what kind of fabulous individual you're dealing with here. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
