Lionel chooses to work with Mercer Island, WA Nanny Agencies because he loves spending time helping children develop and grow!

“What’s been keeping me motivated every day is to fulfill my goal in becoming an early childhood educator. It was my first job when I was 16 and I didn’t realize it was my wakeup call until I was about 21. With working with children I’ve developed a lot of patience in dealing with them. I would like to join Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies as a nanny because you can affect the youth in a more personal way rather than if you were teaching them in a classroom. I have my associates in early childhood education and I am finishing up my bachelors in early childhood education/ special education. I feel being a nanny you can really help the child by being there for them and also being a role model. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 8 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are unique individuals that require a lot of time and patience. My goal as a Nanny is to be more children directed instead of teacher directed. I want to set up a fun, structural environment where the child has a choice in making decisions instead of always being told what to do. I am willing to do housekeeping at the children requests that include everything. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am passionate, motivated, understanding, caring, and devoted. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include incorporating educational learning which would vary by age. I will include indoor or outdoor activities which could be playing learning games, educational video games, going to the park, or shopping. I match their high energy and feel that I can communicate with them very well because I still remember when I was of that age.”

“Lionel has been associated with our company since 2005. We are an organization that functions as a multi-service agency providing a range of youth development, social welfare, and supportive services to individuals. Lionel began his career at here as a member of the High School Youth Council and has consistently advanced his academic and career path. His responsibilities have included participating and supervising all aspects of youth programs that serve approximately 1,000 youth, ages 5-21, per year. He has shown a tremendous propensity to acquire new job skills and responsibilities by being proactive in advancing his career by taking 30 hours of professional trainings per year. This action shows a foundation and capacity to learn and acquire addition knowledge independently which is a key variable to indicate success in an advanced academia and professional environment. Lionel has proven to be a valued role model and mentor to the after-school and summer camp participants and has established himself as a valued and highly regarded employee that can now be placed and functional in multiple positions through Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies. Lionel is a motivated and dedicated individual and is capable of managing a group of people in an administrative or academia setting. As an activity instructor, not only has Lionel inspired the youth to learn more about their culture, he built up their confidence which is reflected in their continual improvement of their school grades and a greater sense of pride and achievement in their chosen endeavors. Children who participated in his activities with little to no motivation and desire to excel are now comfortable and able to strive for excellence.”

“Mr. Lionel was a student teacher in my second grade class during the winter and spring of 2014. He was a part of my class of 26 students. Lionel was also responsible for teaching two small groups of students during math and science. Lionel had a positive and successful experience in my classroom. Lionel performed all of his teaching duties in a responsible and dependable manner. I particularly was impressed with his strengths in relating to the students. Lionel was well-loved by all the students. Lionel planned class lessons well and was sensitive to the needs of the students. Lionel successfully demonstrated an awareness of different learning styles and had adequately adjusted assignments to meet the varied needs of the students. Lionel possesses a positive and enthusiastic personality. Lionel has great rapport with the students that he works with. Lionel was patient and gentle with the students in providing them with the support and the structure they needed. Lionel was always well dressed, articulate, and ready with a smile and a kind word. I am confident that Lionel will be an asset to any school or any environment where he has to work with children. Lionel is confident, knowledgeable, and has the skills of a seasoned teacher. I believe that Lionel will continue to grow and become even more effective as a teacher or member of any Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies with further opportunities.”

“I have known Lionel for four years. He volunteered with me at a daycare center where I worked as the Teacher’s Assistant for two years. In all my years of experience, some individuals stand out for their great qualities and Lionel is one of those persons. While there, Lionel was well known for his work ethic, positive attitude, teamwork mentality and his patience with the children he worked with. Throughout the time I have known Lionel, he has shown me time and again that he is a positive, motivated leader with amazing potential to become a great caretaker. In summation, due to his great attitude, dedication and excellent potential, I would heartily recommend that you accept Lionel for a position with any Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies. I am sure that he would not let you down and would be a great asset to your team as he was to mine.”

“I’ve known Lionel for 10 years. He has been a close friend of mine since the beginning of high school and I’ve watched him grow into a friendly, sophisticated, outgoing man he is today. Throughout our continuing friendship, I’ve known Lionel to have a passion for pursuing a career in Elementary Education. He loves the idea of helping young children learn new things of life and helping them to increase their intelligence. One of my fondest memories of Lionel was how excited he was when he got offered an internship to work at a daycare center. I saw the eagerness in his eyes as well as an understanding of how much he loves children. I have no doubt that Lionel would be a valuable asset to yours or any other Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies.”

“Lionel’s dream of becoming a member of any Mercer Island WA Nanny Agencies dated way back to Junior High School. He worked very hard to stay focused in school so that he can one day realize his dreams. Today that dream is becoming a reality for him. Lionel is a very active person who is consistently rated above standards by his peers and superiors. He has excellent interpersonal skills and gets along well with his peers, supervisors and community. He demonstrates the maturity and intellect necessary to complete this prospective job, so I know he will be right for this position in your facility. I highly recommend Lionel for this position. He brings a set of unique experience with him, and with his current pursuit at early childhood care in college; I know he’s going to be a valuable asset to your organization. I do believe that if this opportunity is granted to Lionel, he is prepared for the great challenges ahead.”
