Resume Summary: Good evening. My name is Diana and I reside in the Birmingham area. At first glance you may question the correlation as to what my life has been like in comparison to what your heart desires in a Nanny. Well may I say, "quite a lot". You see, my life over the past 30 years or more has been encompassed and surrounded with children between the ages of 3 1/2 years and far beyond 18 years of age. Music has been the gift and the portal which has opened doors for me to probably spend well over 40 hours a week with children. Whether working with Head Start babies...Pre-K or Kindergarten little ones, Elementary or High School. Children are my life story. Be it in the church or outside of ministry I have always connected with children..I think they have an extra sense which draws me to them and me to them. I am a 61 year old professional woman who relocated here to Birmingham approximately 11 months ago from New York. I do hold different certifications which I had to achieve in order of working with Children, and then too I do have References which follow me as well. Music is truly the universal language which is I strongly believe that which attracts little ones to me, and I to them. They know that there is some wonderfully positive and unique about me and they seem to be magnetically captured and drawn to me...seriously! Hugs, hugs and more hugs were always expressed to me and my brothers not only from my Mother and Father while growing up but through our Grand Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and loved-ones, so please know that I do know how a caring, loving and genuine spirit can make all the difference in a child's' day, and in child's life And I am so grateful for the precious gifts and and for talents which have been given to me and I don't say this lightly. If I can touch if only one child every day in a loving way, then...I am thankful. I may not hold all the degrees or certifications more exact as may others, but may I say that just sometimes, that degree is not what always makes that... special difference. Thank you so much for allowing me to step into your lives if only for a few moments. Diana
