I have a Bachelors degree in Communication from Keene State College (Keene, NH). I also studied Education at KSC. I have at least 6 years ("paid") experience with babysitting children ranging from newborn to 8 years old. I have babysat at individual homes and at a daycare. I have also assisted a dentist when children were nervous getting their teeth worked on. Furthermore, I have competitively swam for 12-13 years. I strongly believe that every child (even toddlers) should learn how to swim. They do not have to become competitive swimmers, but if they ever find themselves in deep water, they will be able to swim to safety. (If you search online for "toddlers swim lessons" [or something similar to that], you will find some interesting videos.) I like going on hikes, staying active, cooking healthy meals, and keeping a daily routine. I also enjoy exercising, taking photos / photography, and Read more reading. I love having fun with kids, showing them new things, and putting smiles on their faces, but I know when it is time to be serious too. Having fun with kids is great, but disciplining them is also very important. Discipline, along with safety, are among my top priorities. Education (math, read, write, etc.) and life lessons (mannerisms, respect, honesty, how to be independent, etc.) are also very important to me. When I see children acquire these skills and see them learn, it is very rewarding.
