Summary
Professional Caregiver for over 10 years who is looking for a change of pace to seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills and ready to help team achieve company goals.
I have an extensive background in childcare, but being a Nanny isn't just watching children, its a one person Job that exhibits all sorts of separate and different skills that all come together to run a smooth operation. Its imperative to stay sharp and on your toes to provide the absolute best care you can.
I previously was a waitress before owning my daycare. I took on a head Waitress/ Host position and helped train new staff and worked with upper management to create new ideas for menu items and restaurant upkeep. With my combined work experience of being in the service industry and childcare, I have well rounded knowledge on how to serve and take care of others to the highest of standards.
