Hello! I am 27 years old, and started working with children at the young age of 12. I would babysit for family members as well as neighborhood families. When I was 13 I started volunteering at a camp for kids and adults with multiple disabilities and my love for child care took off. I have always loved to work with children. It is just always a wonderful day, even during the difficult ones because once the child is happy again it just puts a smile right back on my face. I have worked with all age groups from newborns of just a few weeks old, up to teenagers. I enjoy taking children on outings to sports events, museums, the park, hiking, as well as arts and crafts. I am very big into DIY, so I try to get the children to use their creative mind, even if it is just Read more finger painting with the little ones. If you would like to know anything else please do not hesitate to contact me.
