Pearl

Hello there! I am a female from the United States. I was an exchange student after graduating High School in the United States, and spent a year in Vienna, Austria going to school and learning the German language. When I returned from Austria, I was a live-in Nanny, personal caregiver for mentally handicapped individuals, and a data entry specialist/shipping manager, among other things. I have since returned to Austria to work as an Au Pair, and my one-year position here has ended so I'm looking for a new work opportunity. Here is a quick list of some of my accomplishments: -Babysat children ages newborn to 12 years old off-and-on over the past ten+ years. -Worked as a co-teacher in a preschool with 1-4 year olds in high school. -Worked as a teachers aide in a daycare with 2-4 year olds in college. -Tutored English to children ages 9 & 11 while on foreign exchange in Vienna, Austria. -Was a live-in nanny for children ages 2 & 6 years in college. -Worked with developmentally handicapped women (one in a walker/wheelchair, one deaf & mute with whom we used sign language to communicate) in all aspects of everyday living (including administration of medicines, and often including overnight care) in their homes. -Worked as a teachers aide with 2-3 year olds in a childcare center. -Was a live-out daytime nanny for children ages <1 & 3 in their home. -Worked as a data entry specialist and shipping manager for a local printing and clothing company. -Was a live-in Au Pair in Austria, caring for children aged 6 and 3, in their home. I have been First Aid/CPR certified on multiple occasions (certifications only last 2 years). I have been watching children since I was a teenager. I’ve always loved spending time with young kids, probably because I still feel like a child at heart and even usually feel more comfortable with them than with other adults. If there's anything else you can think of that you'd like to know about me, please feel free to ask!
