I spend most of my times working with middle school students (ages 11-14). However, I come from a large family with lots of younger children. I have been a caretaker for many newborns, toddlers and school-age children within my family and my circle of friends. I am a warm demander when it comes to discipline and management especially with groups of children. I enjoy planning and implementing activities with children that allow them to show their creative side. On the other hand, I can also serve as a tutor during homework time by creating a quiet and productive environment. I really do enjoy working with children in various capacities.
